Clipper Fans,
Is there any special compile/link flags one needs to use or
commands/functions one needs to call within a program who's output is
intended to be piped to another program? I'm experiencing some odd
behavior trying to pipe program output to less, grep, etc. For example,
with the following program:
Function Main()
Local i
For i = 1 to 500
OutStd("Line: ", str(i), HB_OSNewLine())
Next
Return
If I compile/link with hbcmp/hblnk then run the program on a Gentoo Linux
box and pipe it's output to less, it displays one screen full of the
output and less exits. With my current rxvt-unicode font settings it's
displaying the first 35 lines of output. On FreeBSD it displays the same
number of lines, but with a stair-step effect. I also tried the same
program on the Gentoo box on a virtual console. It also displayed one
screen full of output, in that case through line 24, then less exited.
With other programs I'm seeing similar strangeness such as only displaying
half a screen worth of the output in some cases. In other cases the
output looks normal and less works correctly until I page all the way down
to the last line of output then less stops interpreting the cursor
movement keys correctly.
P.S. Is there a problem with this mailing list's settings? All messages
