Description

This program reads C source files, and generates ANSI function prototypes that can be used in those files to properly declare functions. It uses "/bin/cc -E" as the C preprocessor, so that all normal SCO manifest defines are present when procesing the system header files.

Productivity

Functions prototypes are a "good thing", and this program makes it easy to add them to all your software.

Safety

Used it for a year or two
