Hi!
I have just realized that something is grossly overlooked in C++ standard.
It requires every program to have the main() function (which implementation
is not allowed to supply) with parameters (void) or (int argc, int*argv[]).
However, Windows programs have another convention: prrogram must contain
the function
  int WinMain(HINSTANCE curInst, HINSTANCE prevInst, LPSTR cmdline, int cmdShow)
Some of this is of course quirks or even outright ignored in Win32
(prevInst), but the full non-parsed command line could be useful sometimes,
and not all implementations provide the function retrieving it. And anyway
this is definitely not a main() from the specs. Maybe the requirements on
the main() should be relaxed somehow?

                Best regards                     Genie
