ttydrv is not as far out as all that.  I use ttydrv now to
run commandline windows programs that output to stdout.
ttydrv isn't meant to run CUI programs. ttydrv is a graphical backend to
gdi (which happens to display on a textual terminal)
Perhaps that's how it is now, but that's not how it
was a year ago... back then, no curses were invoked on
startup, and ttydrv was perfect for commandline programs
on a headless system.

I *cannot* use the current Debian wine, because *it uses curses*.
=> because ttydrv uses curses, not because wine uses curses


Please help make wine safe for running commandline programs
from the unix shell - let us select 'ttydrv, no curses' easily
somehow!
just do wine mypgm
the issue you're having right now is that:
- wine, at startup, always create a specific task to handle the desktop
(even just a CUI program is run, but you cannot tell in advance)
- this requires gdi & user to be loaded
- you cannot use x11drv if X11 isn't running
- you cannot use ttydrv because it'll control your terminal
- therefore, in this case, a null drv would be indeed needed (that
should't be too hard to build)
Grr.  Maybe I should go look at last year's ttydrv to see how
to do it properly :-)

Actually, what I'd like to see is a way to specify the driver to
use on the wine commandline.  It's bogus to have to have
a separate .wine directory to do that...
