Hi, Is there something wrong with these couple of patches?
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-December/048436.html kernel32/console: convert newborn wineserver handle to kernel32 console handle. This patch makes screenbuffer handle, returned by CreateConsoleScreenBuffer function, be a really "console" handle (h&3 == 3). Fixes behaviour of WriteFile function called upon this handle.
and
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-December/048291.html tools/wineshelllink: do not execute applications directly, use 'start' utility instead This patch allows to create correct desktop/menu shortcuts for console applications (e.g. Far Manager). I've caught on the idea suggested by Vitaliy (If console needs to be created for those apps and there isn't one, then Wine should do it when starting an app.), but I cannot understand how to check it - dumb console always present (even redirected to /dev/null): http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2007-December/061399.html
If I missed something important just let me know.
Thanks, -- Kirill
