I'm trying to teach myself windows programming, & I seem to be having
some problems...

Win95, 486DX100, 32M RAM...

Borland C++5.02 (fresh install)

This piece of code:

/*------------------------------------------------------------
   HELLOWIN.C -- Displays "Hello, Windows 95!" in client area
                 (c) Charles Petzold, 1996
  ------------------------------------------------------------*/

#include <windows.h>

Compiles with 2 warinngs (trivial, referring to unused instances)

Will not link, get the following error:
    Error:  Unresolved external '_main' referenced from
C:\BC5\LIB\COX32.OBJ

Can anyone help?
