showtime.exe pdb build problem?

[herge]

Hi All:

This program tells the date and time in a window and also prints it in
a dos box. If I build the pdb (debug file info) It does not print in a
dos box, it hangs some where after the window, the process #
goes up by 1[Windows Task Manager] and it hangs and you
have to Manually kill the process [showtime.exe]
I have not changed the source code.

project- console  Assembler and link works- showtime
help - debug build all don't work? -show

One thing I can think of is that SHOW.EXE is built as a GUI program and they don't get a console allocated to them...

Hi Sinsi:

I think you are right could explain why the dos box doesn't open up
when I run show.exe.
