as for the console apps for windows, erm.. mind link some ?
That's Microsoft's name for a program that runs in a command window (the old fashioned black window with text output) without necessarily creating a GUI window. The Visual C++ compiler lets you decide whether a given project is a console app or not. -

ipconfig.exe is an example of a console app. It's included as part of Windows in the System32 folder, and it displays its output to you in a command window instead of a GUI window.
