Microsoft Macro Assembler Reference
Linker Options

[dedndave]

we generally use
ml /c /coff MyProgram.asm

/c tells the assembler to assemble the source file, without linking
it will "call" the linker, otherwise
we often use resource files or other modules, so we want to handle the linker indepentently

/coff tells the assembler to create a COFF format object module, rather than OMF format

when we link, we use
/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE for apps that run in a console window
or
/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS for apps that do not require a console window
