I experience a problem where starting an application compiled with
visual C++ 6 SP5 does not execute the function main(int argc, char
**argv) and exit immediately with code 1 (0x1).

Putting main as an entry point in the section Project -> settings ->
link -> output -> entry-point symbol, makes the program calling main
but my argc and argv arguments are both equal to 0.

Has anyone an idea ?
