    I have gotten that same response once when I inadvertly commented
    out my main.  The message can be read as module c0 ( which is something
    TC always links in ) wanted to call your main() but couldn't find the
    external symbol _main to do so.  This is the refernce to your program
    entry point and must be available at link time.  I suggest checking
    out your code for main -- and you can look in the map file of your
    program's object code via MicroSoft's LINK with the /M option.
    The command is ( if your program is called foo ):
       link /M foo.obj ;
    Hope this helps --- practice makes perfect when it comes to
    error message interpretation.
