I'm using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, and I don't understand why
I'm getting linker errors when there aren't even any other files I'm
compiling along with this file. Here's the code in question:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

void InterpretCommands (istream&);
void InterpretUpdate (istream&);
void InterpretList (istream&);
void InterpretBatch (istream&);
void InterpretQuit (istream&);

void IntepretUpdate (istream& cmds){
  // do something
}

void IntepretList (istream& cmds){
  // do something
}

void IntepretBatch(istream& cmds){
  // do something
}

void IntepretQuit(istream& cmds){
  // do something
}

void InterpretCommands (istream& cmds) {
  string line, cmdWord;

  while (getline(cmds, line)) {
    istringstream lineIn (line.c_str());
    if (!(lineIn >> cmdWord)) {
      break;//there aren't any words
    } else if (cmdWord=="update") {
      InterpretUpdate (lineIn);
    } else if (cmdWord=="list") {
      InterpretList (lineIn);
    } else if (cmdWord=="batch") {
      InterpretBatch (lineIn);
    } else if (cmdWord=="quit") {
      InterpretQuit (lineIn);
    } else {
      cerr << "Unrecognizable command word." << endl;
    }
  }
}

int main ( ) {
  InterpretCommands (cin);
  return 0;
}

And here are the messages when I try compiling:
