See Debraj, Do you know what for we use the main ?? It makes some initializations for the codes to follow - like setting up parameters setting global variables, etc. If you are asking for knowledge sake - I'd say its not allowed by C language. Again like others I want to know why do you want to write a program without main. basically 'main()' is serves as the starting and terminating point. If you write a program it has to start and terminate at some point - main() serves this purpose. All compilers use some sort or another of 'main()'. Any doubts are welcome, just don't ask silly ones Regards, Debasish

Non-hosted environments. Thanks, Paul, of course you're right. Once again I was a tad too fast to respond.
