Geoff, don't search too far. There was not so many Win32 developers at that time, and the number hasn't increased terribly since then. Here is a way to retrieve who made what : http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewvc/viewvc.cgi/source/simgear/debug/logstream.hxx?annotate=1.9&root=SimGear-0.3 The 1.4 log text is : This patch is for windows only. It hides the console window until there is a message to print. It only support SG_LOG, that I think is the right way to display something in FG. At that time, I thought it was a good idea to hide the console when no logging was required, to have a more 'professional' feeling, and hide this ugly black window. For that, fg was linked as a 'windows' subsystem, in opposition to a 'console' subsystem. Under windows, the former kind of executable don't get a console from the system, and if you happen to use the streaming C++ functions, it will lock. In order to display log messages, you have to explicitely alloc a console with the, guess that, AllocConsole win32 call. Due to the number of people complaining that fg wouldn't start without realizing there was a log system, I changed my mind and decided a console should be there from the begining. I've just commited a fix that doesn't realloc the console when there is already one. Redirection works. Just remember that you must redirect the standard error stream, with "2> mylogfile.txt" happend at the end of the command line Regards, -Fred -- Frédéric Bouvier http://frfoto.free.fr Photo gallery - album photo http://www.fotolia.fr/p/2278/partner/2278 Other photo gallery http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ FlightGear Scenery Designer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
