I am completely new to Digital Mars C/C++ compiler. I am using Relo (a 
free C/C++ IDE) and DMC. It's great.

However I find that every WIN32 GUI application gets a console window.

I think the swiches are correct:

dmc -c -WA

I have to add FreeConsole() at the very start of the WinMain function.

What else can I do to remove the unnecessary console window?

You need to specify  -EXETYPE:NT  &  -SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS  with the linker as
well.

So:
  dmc -c -WA test.c
  link -SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS -EXETYPE:NT test.obj

Thanks. That works for me. It seems Relo has a small bug in its 
configuration file for DMC++ (it has no -SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS for the linker).
