TStringList Bug, so I include the Delphi newsgroup as well in case it's bug
with Delphi but probably not.

Problem description:

[snip incoherent ramblings]

1. Windows 95:

Output.txt will contain the text of showme.txt.

2. Windows XP x64 Pro FAILS THIS TEST:

Output.txt remains empty ?!?!?!?!

WINDOWS XP x64 PRO FUCKS UP WITH THE FOLLWING COMMAND:

"sub\project1.exe" \sub\showme.txt" 1>"sub\output.txt"

NOTICE THE 1 that is not how it's supposed to look !

Supposed to or not its been that way thru WinNT, Win2K and WinXP (32).
Its file 1, stdout. because stdin, stdout, and stderr are 0,1,2 respectively.

Win95/98 I have no clue about because they are not true 32 bit OS's.
They are 16 bit DOS with a bunch of kludges stacked on top of them like
a house of cards.

If you bothered to try to learn anything before shooting your mouth off about
bugs you might actually learn something.
