It was in the following misguided posting from Martin Gainty: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg01587.html Maybe it is time to add to the FAQ (or emphasize, if I've missed it) that _WinMain@16 is *absolutely nothing* to do with 16-bit code or libraries. [To anyone curious, I believe it indicates that WinMain is a function which takes a parameter list of exactly 16 bytes, and pops them off the stack before returning to the caller - ie it follows the Pascal/stdcall/winapi convention.] -- Cliff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
