Does it not compile? Or does it not run?
Does it not run after *you* compile it? Or is it just that the EXE doesn't run?

No doubt I'm probably using some NT API calls....

I tried compiling it with wincons.lib and this is what I got.

Both.

Running it just sends me right back to the command prompt after a pause of less than one second.

Oh. Recompile the WinCons library and try again. The missing
functions are the "pre-HLA4MASM" form. I had to change all
the HLA StdLib function names to upper case to make MASM
happy.

I need to make a note to fix this for the v1.60 release.
