I can create a console for a dll using AllocConsole and

standard input and output to either use this console or for

The problem I'm having is that I can write(using custom
write) but can't read. I'd rather just have a dll with a
normal console window like a normal program.
I do have `-L/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE`
but no console appears.
As far as I know, that only works with executables. Loading a
DLL does not trigger the opening of a console. You'll have to
stick with AllocConsole and redirect the I/O.

Thanks, but does that work in D?
Error: cannot cast expression `*fp` of type `shared(_iobuf)` to
`File*`
I tried getting it to work, gave up, and found some example code
that I boiled down to this:
import std.stdio : writeln, stdout;
AllocConsole();
freopen("CON", "w", stdout.getFP);
writeln("OHAI!");
That works on my machine, but I haven't read enough to know why
it wouldn't fail on others.
