   Sorry, I'm confused.   
      
   Even though PDOS/386 is my own OS, I don't have any   
   choice but to call the DLLs kernel32.dll and msvcrt.dll,   
   as it is embedded in the executable.   
      
   I need to at least translate those specific names if I want   
   to rename the physical DLL for some reason.   
      
   What is the 16-bit equivalent?   
      
   Apparently there was a somewhat common technique to   
   write to a console in the Win16 days, which was opening   
   a con pipe and writing to it.   
      
   I'd like the details of that technique.   
      
   I tried doing a search for win16 con pipe but didn't find   
   a reference.   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
