Hi
Is there a idea for the following problem:
I use program for a interpreter, which should do Wimppolling.
If the interpreter fails (cause no memory left or the like), it prints a
message to vdu:
I want to catch such a message (the wimp will not show it) and a commandwindow
will not survive the initialisation of the wimp)
If i try to catch the message with a pipe { > output } the desktop
goes dark (with a few icons) and the wimppoll will write into the file
and there is no multitasking
If i try to catch the message with spool, all actions in the wimp will
logged into the outputfile (which may increase to big) (This will also
take time (especially on a diskette based system))
In my opinion, we need a errorstream (something like { 2> })
so long

ps: I use Riscos 2.0, the interpreter is iconx
