console program running in X

I have a console program that I wrote that uses a few MS dll's. (Hence
why I couldn't do the program in Linux in the first place). I have the
program running nicely in wine. However, wine is convinced that my
program is a gui program. It runs under windows in a dos console just
fine, and it runs in wineconsole just fine. However, I need the program
to be run in cron jobs and be able to access what the program outputs to
stdout. I can do this if I run the program under X. The only
semi-solution I've come up with so far is to use the virtual frame buffer,
but that makes wine spit out a bunch of errors about fonts and such.
Using ttydev makes my program crash, for some reason.
I've tried stripping out code for my program, but it seems that when I add
Microsoft's code to talk to the dll, wine thinks the program needs to be
run under X. I've tried, and really don't think I can rewrite the program
to get around this problem.
Any ideas?
David
