This looks very much like the OutputDebugString method. Of course the 
sysinternals prorgamme has things such as time, filters, remote 
debugging that sometimes comes in handy.

I also use this for Matlab programming where I can check out my (very 
simple) socket pramming when communicating between Matlab and C++ 
programmes.

In any event, all the tools as sysinternals.com are top quality and 
very useful - and they're free. The only programme of theirs I 
haven't tested is their Blue Screen of Death Screensaver ;-)

This I really miss for the OutputDebugString method!

Like the rest of the things you're providing us with I will be 
looking very much forward to this.
