Yes it is. Many Windows programs start with WinMain() for example. The Standard even allows for non-hosted implementations to not have a main(). > because the compiler executes the statement with in the main function.. The compiler does no such thing. The compiler is the software that takes the source code and creates object code (which may, e.g., be a windows dll which isn't even a stand alone executable.) It doesn't execute anything within the source code. And in case you meant the operating system, then behind the scenes, 'main' (or whatever is in it's place - see WinMain above) will not usually be the first thing called since there will be some form of setup required before main starts executing. > without which > can not run the program. -- PJH "Statistics are like a bikini.
