Does anyone know why some .exw files will cause a DOS
window to open while others will not.
Specifically, I have a small program I wrote which
causes a DOS window to open even though (while in
debug mode) no message is sent to stdout.
win xp
eu 2.5

In addition to writing text to standard output,
input operations, like gets() will also bring up a console.
So will graphics_mode(), video_config() etc.
Basically, any command that normally expects to work
in a Windows text-mode console, or DOS window.
Windows GUI I/O will not normally create a console.
