Has anybody of you had any experience with redirection? I'm trying to start up a child process from a parent that has redirected input and/or output file descriptors. After much fiddling with Fdup, Fclose, Fopen and Fforce I managed to get the parent opened a file and the child writing to its stdout being this file (using Cconws, or gemdos 0x9). However, when I used the standard library routines coming with my compiler (Lattice-C that is), such as puts() and printf() the child is bombed (Bus Error). Who knows the correct way to achieve redirection (that is, going from parent to child process, I know how to use Fforce for in-process redirection) ? Please answer by e-mail; if there are others also interested in a solution you can mail to me too; I will forward the results to this group if there's enough response. Maybe I have to figure out things myself after all ... Leo. ( <problem >solution).

How can I redirect the output of a program that normally outputs to a printer to a file instead? (the EPSME.PRG print utility with Dr T's Copyist). I'm using a 1040ST. --- * Via ProDoor 3.1R

There is a program called BARREL that will do this. I think it can be ftp'd from terminator.cc.umich.edu ( 35.1.33.8 ). The name of the file is called appropriately, barrel.arc. Randy Hosler
