running and monitoring executable (piping?)

[Andrew Sasak]

I started writing a program to stream the screen output from an executable
and determine and display what percantage of completion its at. (This is
possible based on the screen output) I tried using ipfstream, however it
isn't getting any of the screen output until the last line (determined using
good()). It worked fine when I tried my program on another program i wrote.
Does anybody have any suggestions. Is there another way to do this? I'm
using cygwin's g++ compiler.

p.s. I'm wondering if the person who wrote the executable used some
nonstardard output stream for everything but the last line, since pfsream.h
mentions it reads the standard output stream of the shell command.
