Standard Output doesn't display but can be redirected

[w3tno]

I have used a simple program from this forum, which should display Hello x64 World! at the command line. When I run the program from a CMD window, the program executes ok, but nothing is displayed. If I redirct standard output to a file while invoking the program, the file contains the correct output. Any idea on why the output is not displayed when std io is not redirected?

Suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated.

have you linked it as a console program (/SUBSYSTEM:console)?

Problem solved!! Many thanks to qWord for the "fix". Yes, I was linking it with the switch /subsystem:windows, and to add to my chagrin the person who had posted the program on this forum had listed console in his batch file, but I overlooked this fact.

And to Dave, my current call is n9jg, but w3tno was my first call and is currently unassigned.
