The Aztec fexec function call leads me to believe that the stdout streams are the same for the calling and the called processes . When I run the attached program only the output from the calling process is written to the "test_file", where the called programs output is echoed to the console. Have I read the manual incorrectly, or am I doing something wrong or is MANX screwed up. Here are the test programs, thanks in advance for any help. test.c #include <stdio.h> /* test.c fexecs test2.c, all the output should be written to the file test_file, but what really happens is that test.c's output is written to the test_file and test2.c's output is written to the console. */ main() { FILE *fpo; fpo = freopen( "test_file", "a", stdout ); printf( "begin\n\n" ); fexecl( "test2", "test2", ( char * ) NULL ); printf( "\nend\n" ); fclose( fpo ;) } test2.c #include <stdio.h> main() { printf( "this is a test\n" ); } -- Tim Desjardins. tdesjardins@lion.waterloo.{edu|CA} "It's better to regret something you have done, then to regret something you haven't done."
