[Debug] OutputTo Problems

[Laurence J. Slatten]

I am having problems getting TRACE messages to be sent to a file even when I have
the following set in my system.ini file.

[Debug]
OutputTo=c:\debug.txt

I know trace messages are being sent because they appear in the dbwin output, and
the MFC Trace Options are set to: Enable tracing and Multi-App Debugging.

I have one machine that I have been able to get this to work on, but I can't
get it to work on any other machine.

When Windows is executed, it creates the file <debug.txt> and appears to be doing
something with it because I cannot access it while Windows is running. However,
the file size stays at zero and stays at zero once Windows is terminated, unlike
the system that works where I see the file size increasing as TRACE messages are
being logged and there is plenty of information in it when I terminate Windows.
