The help system in the IDE for Turbo C (the old version)
included sample programs with void main(),

That's not the formal Turbo C documentation, though - you won't find
anything in there about the choices the compiler writer was forced to make
and document in order to conform to ANSI (yes, ANSI) C. Although I no
longer have access to them, I *used* to have access to the Turbo C 1.5
conformance documentation (which was printed, would you believe, in
hardback), and there was no mention of void main. I do have current access
to the conformance docs for a later version of Turbo C, and there is no
mention of support for void main.
and the compiler did indeed accept them.

The compiler can translate any old rubbish if it likes. It doesn't mean
anything.
Does that count as documentation?

No.
