[Dev-C++] Diff. between project and unit

[<pr...@le...>]

Hi list,
Now this is an absolute newbie question, quite befitting me. I've started
dabbling with the black arts of C++ recently. Today, while writing a
windows application, I came across a strange situation. If I compile and
run just the unit (i.e. main.cpp) file on its own, I get a console window
running at the back of the application window. But if I compile the entire
project (i.e. winapp.dev) then I don't get a console. Can someone explain
what lies in the project file that causes the console to disappear?

This is not a commercial project that I'm working on, so it really isn't a
matter of whether I want the console or not, but rather WHAT causes the
console to appear in the first place.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
