I have been running & coding smaug now for a couple of years using visual c++ & win 2000.

For a number of reasons, I would like to run the code from a windows application and not as a service from the command line. ie a true 'windows' version not a command line one.

Along these lines, I am trying to ultimately compile smaug using Borland C++ Builder to enable me to add forms/tables and the fill wimp environment with the least hassle. The output from the server I would redirect to a scrolling text box, but the mud could be launched as a thread whilst I continue with the admin code.

Anyone done anything like this? Or have any comments/ideas on how this could be achieved? The main issue I'm having is not compiling it, but getting the mud to launch as a thread from a button on a form....

The version I did (available as a download) has it running as a separate thread, which is what is required to run it as a service.

I don't see any major problems with this, just change the redirection of stdout and stderr. However I'm not sure what it really achieves, unless you add some provision for the GUI interface to send commands directly to it.
