Quoting Dave McGuire <mcguire at neurotica.com>:
If one had a good terminal emulator under Windows, and Windows had the
ability to arbitrarily tie program character I/O to the I/O interfaces
of the terminal emulator (note that "terminal emulator" means "program
that emulates a terminal", not "program that talks to a serial port")
then Windows-based SIMH would have the same capability as the rest of
the world. As far as I'm aware, Windows has no such capability.
It is actually quite possible to redirect console I/O in Windows. I
don't think most terminal emulators for Windows provide what you're
describing as functionality, but it's most certainly possible to
implement:

(As one example.)
