So apologies if this is an ignorant question, I dont really understand this
console logic properly so I was researching the options. MSDN help for
DuplicateHandle (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms724251(v=vs.85).aspx)
states console handles cannot be duplicated for use in other processes, is
there another context that I am missing?

Any hints/suggestions on the best way to solve this problem - Ideally we
would want to duplicate the handle extending to add write access, since the
original device was opened read only, but I am not aware of a clean way to
do this.
