   Hang on a second. I thought OS/2 1.0 was ONLY console   
   mode, and graphics was only added in OS/2 1.1?   
      
   Also, with regards to the 16-bit Windows API. Did it not   
   also have a WriteFile() function or similar? If so, can you   
   not write to stdout? If Windows didn't natively support   
   such a concept, could another Windows app create a   
   window and do a pipe or whatever to capture the output   
   of stdout from such a program?   
      
   That is the technique being used in PdAndro:
