Well well well, (eh bien! in french) I know nothing about cygwin but I will
try to look at it. A lot of work...

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] stdin/stdout
Raul pointed out:
If I understand what you've provided, we'd have to
have this the other way around, such that the chess
program spawns an instance of J, and interacts
with it?
Whoops, my mistake. I did not read the thread in detail; I took it for
another instance of the "prompt the user" FAQ. Apologies.
To implement a LPER (the other side of a REPL), the first idea that occurs
to me is to use inetd. That is, configure /etc/services and
/etc/inetd.conf to bind a local port, which, when it gets a connection,
spawns an instance of the chess program, and connects the new socket to
its stdin & stdout. Then, in J, connect to that port with an asynchronous
socket.
The approach has the advantage of being pure J (and that the message
delimiters aren't limited to newlines). The drawback is that Windows
doesn't have inetd, so you'd have to install Cygwin and the appropriate
packages.
