Definitely - I live in a very technologically-savvy dorm in college, and when I encountered it for the first time nobody there had any idea what it was.
...we did later find an old book in our library that had it, though.

So all K&R function declarations were <name>() with no parameters.

K&R was more than that.

This modern C declaration:

        int main(int argc, char **argv) {
                exit(1);
        }

is written thus in K&R:

        int main(argc, argv)
                int argc;
                char **argv;
        {
                exit(1);
        }


I guess most old timers here will agree with me that it was
not much more than glorified assembler in what concerns typing.

I guess you predate me. ;-) When I started learning C, it was already in
the ANSI syntax, though there were enough K&R style code floating around
that I've at least _seen_ K&R syntax. I'm guessing nowadays most people
don't even know what K&R syntax is.
