  When I link my Windows program under BC++ 3.1 with the "warn
duplicate symbols" linker option on, I am receiving the following
warning message...

Linker Warning:WINMAIN defined in module xxx.cpp is duplicated in module WINMAIN.

The map file shows the message...

Warning: WINMAIN defined in module xxx.cpp is duplicated in library file CWS.LIB in module WINMAIN,

but shows only one definition of WINMAIN in the symbol table.  The
only #include in this program is windows.h, plus whatever run time
stuff is linked in by default.

  I notice that if I turn the "warn duplicate symbols option on" I
will see this message even for Borland's example programs.  What is
the cause of this warning, and is it a problem (the program seems to
run just fine)?  How can I eliminate it (we're kind of strict on
having no warnings for released software)?

Paul
