#include <studio.h>
#include <stdribs.h>
void main()
{
char jay[500];
open(PRINTER,"lpt1)
scanf(%w,&*jay);
print PRINTER "$jay";
hello(jay);
return jay;
}
void hello(char *jay)
{
if(!stricmp(jay,"WOBBLE")) // UH OH EXCEPTION PAGE FAULT
{
print ERROR "OH NO!";
main();

1) Main never returns void.
2) Why are you dereferencing and then using the address of 'jay' in your scanf?
3) What the hell is print? This line is horrible, unless you have some fancy macroing going on, and then I'd be hard pressed to say it'd work.
4) You have main as void, and then you make it return a value. The value you try returning is also void from a void function. This is so wrong it's scary.
5) Another horrible 'print' line.
6) Never implicitly call main.
7) No one cares how fast you need it done, honestly.
That aside, at least you posted your attempt, so I applaud you on that.
[edit]Correction on what I thought was an error due to line wrapping. Removed one bullet point.[/edit]

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
I think this is a windup.....
Wow, what a mess. I was starting to wonder exactly if this was C or notIf a teacher/professor actually taught you to program like this then they should be beaten about the head and neck.
