Yes. It also warns if there was no ANSI prototype for a function. (Btw, 
prototypes not necessary has to be in .h file. Prototypes for private 
functions go at the top of the source module (from style(9)))

So, i see no reason to convert files from K&R to ANSI. If there were no 
warnings, the program already "sane" enough, and converting it to ANSI would not 
make it more "sane".
