In regards to FAQ 5.03 – Running Win32 programs from Interix "via telent/rlogin/ssh" or xterm
I can understand why Win32 GUI apps cannot be used when run via telnet or ssh.
But I am having difficulty in understanding why some Win32 CUI (character based) also cannot be used. We’re looking to purchase a development tool that builds Win32 CUI applications. The applications that it builds use the DOS screen drawing framework for doing its display but because of this these applications don’t display anything when run from a telnet or ssh session. I also tried to first start a CMD.exe sub-shell and then run the program, but that did not help.
Is the missing display because ksh and csh cannot cleanly pass the DOS special characters? And/or is it because my terminal emulator (PuTTY) cannot handle the DOS screen drawing? Is there a way around this?
I realize that this is a frequently discussed topic, but for the life of me I can’t understand why it can’t be made to work?
Regards,
Ron

'Cause Win32 CUI programs can't understand using a socket as I/O for stdin/stdout.
As part of the Interop Secure Shell we ship a special program that gets around this
called "winsh" that also handles Win32 programs that "draw" directly to a
console in additional to stdin/stdout.
