[fpc-devel] gui console in windows

[Rimgaudas Laucius]

Hello,

i am interesting, what do you think about redirecting text streams not to windows console, but creating free pascal's own gui console (for example implementing it under -WX switch)? I mean to do something like graph unit is done now or unit wincrt in Virtual Pascal's rtl. Windows console looks like some relict derived from dos. We have problems with keybord drivers and text encoding in it (text prepared with windows editor needs to be encoder to dos cp when outputing if you want to see national characters properly). Different it's implementation in win9x and win2000,xp systems makes these problems deeper. 

Regards,
Rimgaudas Laucius
