The so-called console application is a program that can run in the MS-DOS environment. Console applications usually don't have a visual interface, just display or monitor the program through strings. Console programs are often used for testing, monitoring, and other purposes. Users often only care about the data, not the interface. [1]

Intel's CPU has three working modes, real mode, protected mode, and virtual mode. Real mode is 16-bit, in this mode it works pure DOS. The protection mode is 32-bit, and WINDOWS works in this mode. In order to make WINDOWS working in 32-bit protection mode compatible with DOS programs in 16-bit real mode, a virtual mode is set up, which is the console program.
