I have written a frontend to start a DOS program that displays text on
screen on one single line while executing. To set parameters to this DOS
program in a convinient way I have used allegro to build a GUI that then
starts the DOS program.

I have now understood that there is no way I can decode the output from
the backend in my frontend. Is there then a way to redirect the output
so that it is shown on the graphical screen, which I use for the
frontend ?

Switching betweed text screen and GUI screen is very ugly, so this would
be nice. Is it possible somehow ?
