No, it isn't possible in a normal command shell on windows, though it's easy in
a
cygwin shell.
One reason for switching to stdout for windows is that it will help supporting
the windows community. It'll be much easier to ask them to put ">
c:\temp\fgfs.txt" at the end of their command line (or within fgrun - is that
possible?) than get them to install cygwin :)
I don't have any opinion as to whether we should have all output on all
platforms
go to stdout. It would be consistent.
