I'm using Visual C++ 6 to recompile the code and turn up with the linking error:

Linking...
LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/TreeInfo.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

TreeInfo.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Any idea how to go about modifying this and getting it to build and compile correctly? thanks in advance...

What is TreeInfo? Why is this post in the forum help section?

Your problem is that you haven't defined a WinMain function.

Ah, thanks Greven.

Looking at the source code, it is a console application. If your problem is that you don't have a WinMain, that means that you created your project as a Win32 GUI application, and not a Win32 console application.

Indeed that would be the problem. Even so, should this really be under forum - how to use it? :P

No, not really... :) If it were up to me *winkwink* I'd move it into the general programming section.
