For instance, this is, according to Raymond Chen, why
they added
WinMain rather than extending main (they didn't know if extensions to
main would be allowed).
That doesn't sound very reasonable to me. When you link a Windows
program, it still has a main() procedure provided by Windows which does
setup and then invokes WinMain().
so it's possible that MSVC's C library was
indeed, to some small
degree, based on Unix.
Without doubt. After all, there was no other source of C libraries
before ANSI; compare the Whitesmiths library, which was "meticulously
incompatibled".
