- Bug in csh (confirmed by WSH and C=). The shell must Flush() Output,
- C='s shell always has, WShell always has. Many other 3rd party shells
- do/did not... I reported this problem to csh and sksh authors.
-
- The workaround if you have SAS/C is to add the following line in
- the cleanup code and recompile:
-
- Flush (Output ());
