I am trying to make my first simple windows application using the free
Borland command line compiler.  I copied the program from the book
"Programming Windows" by Petzold:

#include<windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain( .... ) {
  .....
}

So I type
bcc32 my-prog.c
and I get a linker error message something like
could not resolve _main

My guess is that I need to add something extra to the compiling command
line, but really I don't know.  Can anyone help me?
