I have PC Ditto version 3.0 (the newest version) and I am programming in Pascal with Turbo Pascal. My program needs to do two things that I am having problems with. First, it must read data from a input data file as opposed to the standard input device (i.e. the keyboard). Secondly it must output to an output file as opposed to the standard output device (i.e. the screen). I will then send the output file to the printer so I have a hardcopy of prog's execution. My problem is that when I compile prog as a .com file in Turbo and then execute it from DOS (i.e. A> prog) and try to use standard DOS I/O redirection (i.e. A>prog < input.dat or A>prog > prog.out) it executes the program but does not access either input or output files. Does anyone know if PC Ditto does I/O redirection via DOS? Does anyone know how to do this some other way using PC Ditto? Peter
