There is surprisingly little difference between windowed and console
applications. Windowed applications normally don't have a console, but they
can create one with AllocConsole(). Console applications don't normally
display their own windows but they can call CreateWindow[Ex](), GetMessage()
etc.

If you are content to use Win32 I/O calls, you can use AllocConsole() and
WriteConsole().

If you want to use C or C++ output, then it's a little more work. See below.
