| correct me PLEASE if I am wrong here.
Quote:
stdin, stdout, and stderr are simply file pointers, and can be redirected on
dos or unix. there is nothing magic about them that prevents redirection. the
fact that the shell (sh or csh on unix, command.com on dos) does not do this
for you does not prohibit you from doing it yourself. below is the code to a
simple shell which redirects any of these file pointers before executing an
arbitrary command. "redirect -i myin -o myout -e myerr foo arg1 arg2" will
execute the dos command "foo arg1 arg2" with stdin redirected from file myin,
and stdout and stderr redirected to files myout and myerr, respectively. so
information is not lost, myout and myerr are opened for appending, rather
than overwriting. this works on dos or unix.
/*
** redirect -- feed line to shell with stdin/stdout/stderr redirected
**
** usage -- redirect [-i newin] [-o newout] [-e newerr] command
**
** executes command via the shell, but redirects stdin/stdout/stderr first.
** stdout/stderr are appended, not overwritten.
*/
so on my win98SE system
if I type from a dos prompt
C:\redirect -e c:\smaug\log\smauglog.txt
My log files will start working as they are suppose to? | | Top |

| Judging by their help, what you actually need to do is tell it *what* to redirect, like this:
redirect -e c:\smaug\log\smauglog.txt smaug.exe
You didn't have the command on the end.

| well we seem to be making progress. I now have a file in the log subdir called smauglog.txt
When I opened it it had one line in it
"Bad Command or File Name"
Argh!
That was after typing in from the dos prompt
C:smaug\redirect> redirect -e c:\smaug\log\smauglog.txt smaug.exe
it seem sadding the smaug.exe was important to making the file, but now what actually goes in there?
Will I need to type that in each time I start the game? | | Top |

| "sadding"?
Naturally you need to type the command in the directory where the command actually is, or have it in your path. So, you probably need to do something like this:
c:
cd \smaug
c:\redirect\redirect.exe -e c:\smaug\log\smauglog.txt smaug.exe
You don't have to type that in every time, put it in a batch file. |

| sadding was a typo of "seems adding".
on the otherhand I now have a SMAUGLOG.txt file.
And I can now actually see all the little eight-legged freaks running around in the code. naturally you know this means there are going to be more questions later on the nature of these horrible little creatures ;-) But for now I'm jumping in my seat with glee as this is working now. As we say in the game HUZZAH NICK!!!
;-)
Thanks much
