I have a situation where I want to consume VC++ code that someone else
has written.  This C++ code compiles into a console app exe, and I have
all of it's source code. For the record, this app listens to a comm
port for a stream of proprietary data it is expecting.

What I want to do with it is be able to instantiate this "listening()"
function from my C# WinForm and display it's console output to my
Textbox.   If this C++ code compiled into a DLL I could use the
PInvoke, but it compiles into a .exe and I do not know how to change
this within the project(in vstudio6).   It also does not implement any
COM interfaces for me to use.

Can anybody tell me any glaring things that I am overlooking to be able
to use this unmananged method?
Thanks

Mr.Baha
