How to I catch >the report before it rolls off into bit-hell? I spent quite a while looking for this in the vers 3 manuals, and never did find the information. So, pull out your handy version 2 phone book (you didn't buy just version 3, did you? :-]), and look in the index where you'll find that you should link in the unix.main file, and change your main() to _main(). When your program executes, you'll get a window asking for where to send stdout. If you're trying to run on a 1 meg machine (using the ExitToShell() fkey, or some other such kludge), watch out for random problems with stdio to the console window. It seemed to hang very frequently. My guess was that stdio isn't very robust in very limited memory situtiations, but I never explored it very much. I have no idea if it's a problem with IO to files. -- James Moore jamesm@sco.com
