   Also, I assume it was physically possible to create an executable   
   that did a WriteFile to something resembling stdout. But due to   
   the absence of a console the output just disappeared.   
      
   But if I replace 16-bit Windows with my own 16-bit Windows (that is   
   console mode only), would that executable suddenly start working?   
      
   Or is there something missing from the executable technically?   
      
   I assume any WriteFile to actual files works fine, even if I only   
   provide a console.
