Hello
While compiling a program I get this error:

Linking C:\C++_source\BOX.exe
Error: Unresolved external '_main' referenced from D:\BC5\LIB\COX32.OBJ

Could someone explain what it means...

(I use Borland 5.02)

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.
