Spawn a new console and write to it at run-time (in windows)

[RealityVelJackson]

I am writing a multithreaded 'chatroom' style server that constantly broadcasts the messages it receives to all the clients so that they can watch the discussion unfold. Upon a client's successful connection to the server, the client creates a new thread. From inside this thread I would like to spawn a new console window, possibly using:

systen("start cmd");

and then echo received (broadcasted) strings to the new console possibly using:

char* command = "echo ";
strcat(command, receivedString);
system(command);

On a UNIX machine, I have an idea of how to write to open processes, but I don't know how to do this using windows.

Any suggestions ?

I'd imagine you'd use a bunch of functions listed here
