Does anyone know if it is possible for a blitz exe to run from the command prompt without it opening in a separate window?

I am trying to receive text input from the command line, do some calculations in the program, and return some text back to the command line.

I am intereted in this because I have written a chess program in Blitz, and I now want to make a version that is independent of the GUI, and can communicate with winboard.

I think you'll need BlitzPlus for this Gavin, but you might like to check out WinB3D, which does some GUI stuff for B3D...
