Quickwin Application without windows

[belsim]

Is there a possibility for a Quickwin application to start without opening any window ?
If not what kind of application should I do to avoid the console opening ?

Well, IIRC, a QuickWin application, by definition, opens a frame window.
So what you appear to want is not a QuickWin application.
Here is the simplest one I can think of.
Just do not try to write to streams 5 or 6,
or read from stream 5, because that presupposes
the existence of a console window to write to or
read from.
This program runs and creates a log file
with the simplest of output message.

INTEGER(4) function WinMain ( hInstance, hPrevInstance, &
         lpszCmdLine, nCmdShow )
!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES STDCALL, ALIAS:'_WinMain@16' :: WinMain
INTEGER(4), INTENT(IN) :: hInstance, hPrevInstance
INTEGER(4), INTENT(IN) :: lpszCmdLine
INTEGER(4), INTENT(IN) :: nCmdShow
open (2, file='logfile.lis', status='unknown')
write(2,*) 'Hello world'
close (2)
WINMAIN = 1
END FUNCTION WINMAIN

To suppress the console, use the linker option /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS

What you probably are doing is performing all your I/O using files, so you do not want a window of any form (Console, QuickWin, etc.). You may also try using a Standard Graphics Application, and as AnthonyRichards indicates, avoid all I/O to 5, and 6.

If you indeed want a program with no user interface, a "Fortran Windows Application" is the correct choice. Instead of a main program, the entry point is a WinMain routine. Let the CVF wizard create a sample application for you, then remove all of the windows code.

Standard Graphics gives you a single large window - probably not right. And simply saying /subsystem:windows is not sufficient.
