Well, from what I have read, something like that. I does not make a real win32 program, just a "windows console", no buttons or anything fancy, you just get rid of that boring black DOS background, and get a windows feeling at the same time. > You should dig into VC++ and see what libraries it is linking in and how it > is grabbing the console I/O.

Well, that seems like a undoable project, I have not yet seen a Microsoft program with enough documentation to understand what it is actually doing, but I think I will try. Btw., does anyone know where I can find some header files for win32 function calls under C++, there doesn't seem to be any included with Cygwin. Thanks, once again.
