dos console apps question

[Chris Morgan]

Lately I've been trying to get some dos console apps running under wine.  
These apps run great under wineconsole but not so much just under wine due to 
the lack of a server side console for the routines in dlls/msdos/vga.c to 
output too.  So, after poking all around it seems that at some point during 
the normal loading of an app that we should be calling out to the server with 
alloc_console to create a default console, and binding this console to the 
current terminal.  Does anyone have any suggestions about this?  What 
function this should be done in?

Thanks,
Chris
