I have readed "Golden book - Windows NT 3.5 Programmation" by Brian
Myers & Eric Hamer. (I don't know if it's the original title).

In Chapter 17 - API of console, the I/O standards is : CONIN$ (equal
stdin) and CONOUT$ (stdout) using with CreateFile().

I hav'nt find example for use in this book.

Even if CONIN$ and CONOUT$ don't exist with WindowsNT 4, it is possible
to create a C program to communicate with IIS (or any Internet Server).
	MY_PROGRAM.EXE <--> C_PROGRAM_I/O <--> IIS

I want not to use IIS with Windows95. Actually i use Windows95 and
OmniHTTPd (Server). If my C program run with him, this program will run
with WindowsNT and IIS, i think. 



Other question concerning the console : The golden book indicate that
the option of compiling is :	-subsystem:console
Have Gnu-win32 an equivalent of this option ?


I hope that this help you.

I thank you for your help.

Salutations.
