Author Fujitsu student cobol compiler, link error? Please help

I'm trying to use the free Fujitsu student cobol compiler for the first
time. I wrote a small program just to try to get use to the use to the
usage of the compiler, linker, etc. Can anyone help on a couple of
issues encountered? On the compile, I got this message:

STATISTICS: HIGHEST SEVERITY CODE=I, PROGRAM UNIT=1

However, that's it, no indication of what the "I" message was, or what
line it was on. This was not a big deal to me as it did appear to
create an .obj module.

When I went to link it though, I got this message:

LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\FSC\PCOBOL32\LINK' : return code '0x68'
Stop.

Linking files failed.
Please close this window.

I can compile, link and execute this program on another complier, it
really doesn't do anything other than display a message to the screen.
I'm just trying to get a handle on how this compiler and link works.
Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks,

"I" message stands for "Ignatus," the patron saint of compilers who has
blessed your effort with "no significant" errors.

Other icons are "[W]odan," - means 'be careful, some things don't look
right' and "[E]vil," which indicates pestilence abounds in the land and
nothing will work.
