[Mingw-users] Confusion about the difference between GCC and VC6

[Woody Lu <woo...@gm...>]

Hey list:
I am a new guy here using MinGW under WINDOWS 7 envrionment.
I have a confusion about the difference between GCC and VC6 here:
After I compile and link a C source code by using GCC, when I run the 
EXE file,
beside the program's window thers is also a "command line window" popup.
If I close the "command line window" the program is closed too.
The same C source code, if I compile and link it with VC6, the program 
runs just
normal with only the program's window itself.

English is not my native language, I don't know if I have described my 
confusion
clearly enough. But I really want to know what cause the difference.
