Hello Jurgen,
So looking again into this.
It is definitely a bug of apl on Microsoft Windows is my current opinion.
No output to a file is or can be generated.
Tried e.g.
g:\cygwin32\bin\apl.exe --noSV -f c:/temp/helloworld.apl >c:/temp/ddd.txt
g:\cygwin32\bin\apl.exe --noSV -s -f c:/temp/helloworld.apl >c:/temp/ddd.txt
2>&1
g:\cygwin32\bin\apl.exe --noSV -s -f c:/temp/helloworld.apl 2> c:/temp/ddd.txt
g:\cygwin32\bin\apl.exe --noSV -f c:/temp/helloworld.apl >c:/temp/ddd.txt 2>&1
...
Usually Cygwin programs running on Windows have the same behavior as on Linux,
so thisis unexpected.
I am mainly interested in capturing the STDERR thus in order to debug errors.
This is e.g. the program used (helloworld.apl)
'Hello world'df -df ----)OFF
so the error thrown is
Hello worldVALUE ERROR df-df---- ^
It is thus impossible to catch this error in a file.

As a next step: Is there maybe somewhere a latest pre-compiled binary
executable version of Cygwin GNU APL.exe available somewhere?

Hi Knud,
GNU APL prints to stdout and stderr like all other "normal" programs.
It might be, though, that under non-normal operating such as WINDOWS
the output gets lost for some reason.
I suppose that the shell used (e.g. cmd.exe vs. the cygwin shell) might
make a difference in that respect. The following works just fine in GNU/Linux:
eedjsa@server68:~/apl-1.8$
eedjsa@server68:~/apl-1.8$
eedjsa@server68:~/apl-1.8$
eedjsa@server68:~/apl-1.8$ cat test.apl # prints ⍳10
⍳10
)OFF
eedjsa@server68:~/apl-1.8$ apl -s -f ./test.apl > test.output
eedjsa@server68:~/apl-1.8$ cat test.output
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
eedjsa@server68:~/apl-1.8$
eedjsa@server68:~/apl-1.8$
Best Regards,
Jürgen

Hello,
1. apl.exe has a parameter to input a file.
2. E.g.
apl.exe -f youraplfilenamehere
E.g.
apl.exe -f helloworld.apl
3. But how to get the output of it?
4. There seems to be no command line parameter to set output to a file (run
e.g. apl.exe --help to see and check that).
5. Also something like pipe '>' to a file gives no results.
E.g.
apl.exe -f helloworld.apl >youroutputfilename
Can you please advise?
Thanks with friendly greetings Knud van Eeden
