You surely haven't been looking outside your sandbox.
Nearly all utilities on any unix-alike system work
that way, or at least support it.

It can do everything the standard command line
(util infile outfile) can, and extras, like piping.

LOL. It sure is. It's not because the interface
isn't what you're used to that it isn't Win32.
Pipes are a standard Win32 feature too, but
Microsoft did some nasty things that make
them harder to use in some cases (on Win32).

I have a (Win32) project which relies entirely
on standard i/o for interprocess communication.
It works just fine. And it can be ported without
a single change.

Hmm, I don't think you need the double backslashes here.

The _d dll's have debugging information.
