I'm trying to use freopen to redirect stdout to a file. This works fine but
I then want to redirect stdout back to the console and am having trouble
doing this. I have used the following two calls.
freopen("temp","w",stdout);
freopen("CON","w",stdout);
Apparently CON is meant to be the console but instead a file called CON is
created.
I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
Michael

1) This has nothing to do with the development of GCC, and so is offtopic
for this list. I suggest a programming newsgroup.
2) "CON" == "the console" is only true under MS-DOS, to the best of
my knowledge. Maybe Windows too.
