     For future reference: It would have been helpful if you'd
pointed out which line provoked the error message.  It would
also be a good idea to quote the *exact* and *complete* text
of error messages that puzzle you; the fact that you're puzzled
proves you don't know which bits are safe to omit.

     Oh, yeah: Adopt a more reasonable formatting style.  If
this sample had been a few lines longer I'd have just said
"Too much bother" and skipped it.  But I'm in a good mood
today, so ...

     There are a *lot* of things wrong with your code, but the
immediate issue the compiler objects to is
