 Message        The function "<name>" is defined using the old style
                K&R syntax.  The C standard has marked this syntax as
                obsolescent, and it is not supported in C++.
                Consider using the standard C prototype syntax.

 Description    The function uses an old style function definition.
                Compaq recommends that old style function definitions
                be replaced by prototype-format definitions.

 User Action    Recode the function definition to use the recommended
                prototype-format definition.
