4.00
MS-DOS
Problem:
Assembly-time error messages in MASM Version 4.00 are
sent to STDERR; this is different than Version 3.00
behavior. MS-DOS does not allow redirection of STDERR, so
error messages cannot be redirected to the printer.
Response:
Microsoft has changed this behavior in MASM Version 5.00
so that error messages can be redirected. Also, a utility
called ERROUT can be used to redirect output sent to
STDERR. This utility is part of the MASM Version 5.00
package.
A workaround for MASM Version 4.00 is to output to a
listing file, then send the listing file out to the
printer.
