Dear group, I try to compile a C++ program but it gives me errors I don't
understand.
I use V6.0 on Tru64 V4.0D

The code looks like:
...
    long (__cdecl *DictOldNumValues)
        (WebBotDict* dict,
         const char* key);
    const char* (__cdecl *DictOldGetValue)
        (WebBotDict* dict,
         const char* key);
...

and the error is

cxx: Error: ../../webbot.h, line 39: expected a ")"
    long (__cdecl *DictOldNumValues)
------------------^
cxx: Error: ../../webbot.h, line 42: expected a ")"
    const char* (__cdecl *DictOldGetValue)
-------------------------^
cxx: Error: ../../webbot.h, line 42: cannot overload functions distinguished by
return type alone
    const char* (__cdecl *DictOldGetValue)
-----------------^
...

Can anyone give me a hint?
