## Peculiarities of Windows
# Console vs No Console
Windows binaries can be built either for the console or the GUI.
When they're built for the console they can hide themselves when they start.
They must open up a terminal window.
When they're built for the GUI they can't print any output - even if they're started in the terminal.
This is why there's a **Debug version** for the windows binaries -
so that you can get your arguments correct with the one and then
switch to the other.
There's probably a clever way to work around this, but I don't know what it is yet.

restart attempts.
