Chapter 14 demonstrates the console capabilities of the Win32 API.
It shows how to use both the raw and cooked input modes, how
to integrate consoles in with MFC programs, and how to
trap input events.

2buff.cpp
  This code demonstrates how to handle console output buffers

chap11.mak
  Change the file in the project to compile the 
  different examples in this directory under Visual C++.

color.cpp
  This code demonstrates how to change character colors in a 
  console.

cooked.cpp
  This code demonstrates a typical "cooked" (normal) mode

  output.

cooked2.cpp
  This code demonstrates how to create an independent shell
  separate from the originating shell useing the "AllocConsole"
  function.

events.cpp
  This code demonstrates how a console retrieves mouse, size
  and keystroke low-level events.

handler.cpp
  This code shows how to register a handler function to trap
  ctrl-c, ctrl-break, etc. events.

makefile
  Change the APP variable to compile the different files in
  this directory.

mfc directory
  Contains a simple MFC program that displays output in a console.

raw.cpp
  This code shows how to handle raw input from a console so that
  you can retrieve input one character at a time.

raw2.cpp
  This code shows how to handle raw input from a console so that
  you can retrieve input one character at a time. This code also
  demonstrates how to use a normal Wait function to wait for
  input.
