Windows implements console mode as a client-server protocol between the

csrss.exe), but the protocol isn't easily hookable. I guess one would
have to hijack the console APIs, perhaps by stepping into the

ReadConsoleOutput() on the hidden console only
gives you the cooked output in terms of character cell contents and
attributes, whereas the raw output as it came from the console app
would need to be sent to the pty to be displayed by the likes of
screen. As far as I can
I could
imagine some kind of a DOS-to-Unix terminal wrapper program, but I've never
seen
one and have no idea how it would work.
...and if one was possible why wouldn't the techniques that it incorporates be
part of cygwin?
Laziness on your part?
hahahahahaha

We need to run a DOS program as a service. The program provides
valuable information in the DOS window in an interactive ASCII color
interface but does not provide any method to connect to this interface
if started as a service.
One solution is to run this program under screen. Unfortunately,
I suppose you could always use the 'clear' command instead of cls. If you
