I just launched these .exes on xp in explorer and they created a console
window.
Doing the same thing in wine using winefile produces the same failure as
in wine. The program quits when GetConsoleMode fails. The programs do
work using wineconsole.
Somehow windows knows to run these .exes in a console window but wine
doesn't.
