Someone who can write in C could probably just whip up a teeny app in c that takes stdin and immedietly sends it to stdout (like more, but without the paging features) that could be incorporated with your apps. Its still an ugly workaround though.
Have a batch file for execution that handles the piping and takes params (also would have to be included with your app.) ## batch file yourstackfile -ui %1 %2 %3 | yourlittlecprog Of course all this is much uglier than oh say.. having a stdout that works. Probably still too convoluted for a production answer.
