Hmm, not sure if that means "that's Great, man" or "that's (a) Great man".
Since my ego needs stroking, I'll take it as the latter.  ;-))

You get the following error:

>> >when i build this i am getting Unresolved external '_main' 

More specifically, the startup code and the compiler's libraries expect a
prepended underscore on calls to their functions. With that option enabled, 
the required underscore is added automatically by the compiler. Without
it you would have to add the underscore yourself to each such call.
