To create win32 console apps, the docs say to use the SUBSYSTEM CONSOLE directive in the Module definition file. But in the docs for Optlink's Module Definition Files, this directive does not exist.

Is the directive necessary for console apps? If so, can the docs be updated?

YES!

Probably...

No, it is not necessary to even use a def file to create console apps. It is supported by the linker, even if not mentioned in the docs. -Walter
