Yes. In particular, a console application can do graphs. But if you
want to support Win32s, you're more or less stuck with the current
model.

Another thing: if you want the windowed text interface (scrollbars!)
launched from console program, I suspect you get a dangling "DOS-box".
I've only seen link-time solutions to that one.

So it's probably easier just to make two different .exe files...
