I am going to be getting into VC++ and away from Borland soon, and I was curious about something. In a VC++ example code I looked at, I didnt see a main() function. I assume that in a windows application, you will have a Winmain() instead? I saw that in there...anyway, any VC++ specific pointers or tips would be welcome!!

Yep, in any Win32 App you always have a WinMain function -- probably because the paramaters passed into the main() function arent sufficient for a Win32 App (i.e, you need an hInstance and other important data).

Yeah, in a Windows app, the standard main() is done for you behind the scenes, so to speak.
