Well, one time I tried to connect third-party compilers to BlackBox system.
It was approximately such problem, but much complex. Goal was to start
a console Windows application, wait while it runs and return all its output
for analyze compilers exit codes, or other console programs results.
I tried really many variants of code and have many of experiments,
started to
port Key Object Library from Object Pascal to Component Pascal.
And am have no successes. No stable code works with all versions of Windows.
Then, I search solutions in internet, and found a code library WinPipe
by Jerrald Meek. It's very fundamental work, many of possibilities, starting
old Ms-Dos and Win16/Win32 console apps. I was glad to find this code.
But while porting under BlackBox I found the errors in WinPipe. And, too,
this WinPipe do not support Windows Vista/7. I wrote to author and
bugreport about all problems. He answered me that he is busy to fix it now.
After all, I waited about 2 years, and see that WinPipe is dead now.
And I much stinger about this since library really fine.
Well, I have not settled problem of the starting console programs under
BlackBox and processing results of its work. And I'm writing to you in hope,
maybe some of you will can to help to solve this shortage together.

Info about WinPipe.

WinPipe is a combination of a utility and a dynamic link library which
allows an application to spawn a child process with a wide range of
abilities for manipulating the standard console handles of the child.
The purpose of WinPipe was to overcome problems and limitations related
to standard I/O redirection of Windows console applications.

Official website was at http://www.micrognu.com/proj/nocost/wpipe/
now the site is dead. But Google code hosted this project:
