OK so I am not a big programmer but I do have VC++6 so I tried to compile the new eq and got these errors. Can anyone help me out?

/SUBSYSTEM:{CONSOLE|WINDOWS|NATIVE|POSIX|WINDOWSCE}[,major[.minor]]

This option tells the operating system how to run the .EXE file. The subsystem is specified as follows:

The CONSOLE subsystem is for a Win32 character-mode application. Console applications are given a console by the operating system. If main or wmain is defined, CONSOLE is the default.

The WINDOWS subsystem applies to an application that does not require a console, probably because it creates its own windows for interaction with the user. Win32s operating systems can only run WINDOWS applications. If WinMain or wWinMain is defined, WINDOWS is the default.

You want windows here.
