Normal C programs expect a function named main, unless you are writing a
Windows program, in which case you need a function named WinMain.

If you are using Borland's Integrated Development system, then you have
probably created a new project that builds a straight dos/unix type of
program, and you are want to build a windows program.

Start a new project, looking out for where it asks the kind of program:
dll, application, console.
