Is there anyway (using Turbo Pascal 5.5) to sense if standard output is
being re-directed? I want to use the CRT unit to use direct screen writes,
but I would also like to include support for redirection without use of a
command line switch.
I tried looking at the 'entire' command line as show in Timo's faqpas.txt,
but dos strips away everything after the > . Is there a flag somewhere
I could check? Maybe looking for some kind of flakely file in the current
directory? :->
I suppose pointers to books would be ok, but I can barely afford $3.00 for
a cheap novel, much less a DOS handbook of somesort. :-<
Anyways, tanx.
