[Gretl-devel] "start gretlcli.exe" vs. simple "gretlcli.exe" (on Windows)

Hi, allow me to open a new thread for the shell command launching stuff here. I'm following Allin's advice to use "start gretlcli" to background the gretlcli process on Windows. The problem I'm facing right now (with the latest snapshot) is that when I do (in the Windows cmd.exe console): gretlcli.exe -b hansltemp.inp > testy.out I get a good testy.out file written. However, when I do: start gretlcli.exe -b hansltemp.inp > testy.out The testy.out file gets overwritten as expected, but it is empty (0 bytes). I know this might be a Windows issue instead of a gretl issue, but perhaps somebody has an idea about what's going on nevertheless. (I also have a totally different issue with a silently failing bread() function in a loop which somehow ignores part of the bundle contents, but I leave that for later...) thanks, sven
