I'm not sure this is true. It wouldn;t be my choice but in a fairly
small program this might make sense.

says who?

these seem quite rigid rules

--In this newsgroup, there's no C++ program without main().

All C++ /programs/ have a main() function. Libraries and chunks of
code may not.

This newsgroup is about the C++ lang, not about a function named main.
Its perfectly fine for people to discuss C++ code that doesn't have a main
function.

C++ code,but not C++ programs.

--So what? It's pretty improbable that OP's main.cpp hasn't got main()
--in it.

The OPs code either does or doesn't contain a main entry point function.
This make the probaility 50/50.
If you chose to assume one option over the other then thats your
perrogative, pls do not also assume you are correct.

it is good practice for names in programs to give some indication of
the purpose of the thing they name.

My non-trivial programs don't have a main.hand and few of my programs
have a main.cpp. I wouldn't get too upset if I saw someone else's
program with a main.cpp.

Actually, it's the medicine that makes you happy. But you need to take
it to realize you have been unhappy before.

"take your meds!" might have been worth saying once (though I don't
believe so in this case). But repeating it just clutters the ng. If
you believe the person you are responding to has a mental health
problem then what sort of person are you to keep tormenting him? If
you don't, then why do think it is reasonable to use mental health as
a stick to beat him with? Would you do this with his skin colour or
religion or sexual orientation? Some people who post to the internet
do have problems. You are not helping.

When I was child "thlid" and "spass" were terms of insult. I think it
is better that they no longer are.

And err where does this quote come from ? please supply a reference link
when you quote something from the internet.

Thanks for confirming that you did indeed not read the wikipedia article
about the PE format I posted at least twice in two different threads. (If
you had, you would have recognized the quote.)
