Ok. That gets me a little bit further.  
gems use the tty? method on IO. which in turn calls

```
    [DllImport("kernel32")]
    private extern static IntPtr GetStdHandle(int nStdHandle);

    [DllImport("kernel32")]
    private extern static int GetFileType(IntPtr hFile);

```

obviously kernel32 doesn’t exist. Will look at making finding the unix  
equivalent for that.  
But Win32Api does behave properly now
