No ) I was trying to follow the rules I have learned - prototypes 
and function definitions should have consistent names of variables;
this is the only reason why (and what) I have dared to changed in this
program.
Keith has explained my mistake, and now I know, but will follow the 
"rule" of being consistent; I believe it adds up to readability of any
code, and to beauty of it.
