[Ace-users] [ace-users] Redirecting stdout

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Bruno,

>I ran into an ACE behavior which I don't understand.

Thanks very much for your email.  To ensure that we have proper
version/platform/compiler information, please make sure you fill out
the appropriate problem report form (PRF), which is in

$ACE_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM
$TAO_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM

or in

$ACE_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM
$TAO_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM

in older versions of ACE+TAO.  Make sure to include this information
when asking any questions about ACE+TAO since otherwise we have to
"guess" what version/platform/compiler/options you've using, which is
very error-prone and slows down our responsiveness.  If you don't use
the PRF, therefore, it is less likely that someone from the core
ACE+TAO developer team will be able to answer your question.
Naturally, we encourage and appreciate other members of the ACE+TAO
user community who can respond to questions that they have the answers
to.

It's really not clear what you are trying to do.  Please send a small
example that illustrates the problem.

Thanks,

Doug
