StdOut on Windows

[Mike Bonner]

Someone who can write in C could probably just whip up a teeny app in c
that takes stdin and immedietly sends it to stdout (like more, but without
the paging features) that could be incorporated with your apps.  Its still
an ugly workaround though.

Have a batch file for execution that handles the piping and takes params
(also would have to be included with your app.)



## batch file
yourstackfile -ui %1 %2 %3 | yourlittlecprog

Of course all this is much uglier than oh say.. having a stdout that works.
  Probably still too convoluted for a production answer.
