_ATL_MIN_CRT? What causes the linker error that _main is unresolved
during Release builds? 
A. This usually happens when the C Run-Time (CRT) startup code is
required for some CRT functions. You can either remove all references
to the CRT functions that require the startup code or remove the
_ATL_MIN_CRT preprocessor definition from your compiler settings.

In 32-bit OLE, BSTRs use Unicode like all other strings in 32-bit

MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte to convert ANSI strings
to Unicode, and Unicode strings to ANSI.

%%Data Types

Dr. GUI and COM Automation Part 2 "Variants are stored in 16 bytes.
The first 2 bytes are a tag that contains a number representing the
type of the variant, the next 6 bytes are padding, and the final 8
bytes are the value of the variant. The format of the value depends
on the value of the tag. In C/C++, we represent the value of the
variant with a union. Variants can hold most of the C++ data types
plus pointers, arrays, strings, dates, and currency objects. 

several data types rely on dynamic memory allocation. For those,
you'll have to be sure to call CoInitialize or CoInitializeEx at the
beginning of your program

// must call CoInitialize or CoInitializeEx
   HRESULT bOK = CoInitialize(NULL);
   printf("CoInitialize returned %x\n\n", bOK);

Forms™ Enterprise Edition software is the premier visual rapid
application development tool for devices based on the Palm Computing®
platform. This Enterprise Edition is designed for developers seeking
the ease of use of the Standard Edition but also requiring their Palm
OS applications to link with Lotus Notes or Oracle Lite on the
desktop or directly to servers. The Enterprise Edition is also the
product of choice for large scale, Fortune 1000 type projects.

Both the Standard and Enterprise Edition have the same core components:

1. Application Designer, the integrated development environment used
to design the forms and tables of an application. App Designer allows
you to quickly create applications with multiple forms and tables
using easy drag-and-drop techniques.
2. The Satellite Forms Conduit, which manages the transfer of data to
and from handhelds and desktop databases.
3. The Satellite Forms HotSync Extension ActiveX Control, which works
in conjunction with HotSync technology to simplify integration with
database applications.

data at a time. In 1972 Intel produced 8008 chip an 8 bits processor.
This two microprocessor were almost demonstration tools. However, in

@@Leap Year

http://www.asiaonline.net.hk/~tfwong/leapyear.htm
lp = ((y % 4 = 0) AND (y % 100 <> 0)) OR (y % 400 = 0) 

lp means leap year. 
y is the year you want to calculate. 
% means take the remainder of. 

The formula above means a year is a leap year in EITHER one of the following 2 cases: 

1. y is divisible by 4 but is NOT divisible by 100, OR
2. y is divisible by 400 ONLY.

@@Time

MFC: CTime objects can be used to represent dates between January 1,
1970, and January 18, 2038. CTime objects have a resolution of 1
second. CTime is based on the time_t data type, defined in the
Run-Time Library Reference."  I guess they'll be looking for MFC
programmers in 2037.  

http://year2000.dci.com/Articles/990317isps.htm
"Our company uses Unix, the most widely-used operating system in the
industry. And Unix won't encounter date problems until 2037," said
Hanson. Linux itself will be free of date problems until 2038. 

http://www.netstore.de/Supply/http-analyze/year2000.html in Unix
systems the date is represented as seconds since the birth of the OS
at January, 1st 1970. This value is stored in a signed long (4-byte)
data object, so it can represent as much as 2147483648 seconds, which
equals 35791394 minutes = 596523 hours = 24855 days = 68 years.
Therefore, most clocks in traditional Unix systems will overflow at
January, 1st 2038 if the OS is not updated before this date.

@@User Interface Evolution

Teletype (TTY)
- Type on paper, carriage return, line feed, backspace
1 byte printing codes "ASCII" or EBCIDIC

Glass Teletype 
- no waste of paper

Character Mode Screen (VT100)
- cursor addressable in any order to make appearance
  of screen
- cursor keys up, down, home, end
- Escape code sequences to command terminal

Graphical User Interface / Mouse
- dot addressable graphics not limited to 24x80
  or characters
- computer directly controls display screen memory
  for speed

----------------------------------

Block Mode Terminal (IBM3270) 
- The terminal puts up a form with 
  "unprotected" fields for data, send 
  to a time-shared mainframe

Windows Form (C SDK, C MFC, Windows, X-windows)
- Draw a graphical form on the PC which
  may send data back to a database server

Web Browser
- Client fills in form, sends it back to a server,
  back to time sharing days.
