So far this old working code has had a number of minor issues with
type mismatches. These type mismatches have been found when moving to
a full prototype. Someone with a deep knowledge of what is going on
behind the scenes will understand, but the new prototype code is
clearer without that need for deep understanding.
talkd is one of the programs I've had the most problems with, mostly
due to its not having an extern.h file where all the function
prototypes were defined.
