I have not been reading this newsgroup lately, so please forgive me if this
has already come up :

I am trying to reassign cout to a file in Turbo C++ 2.0, but I can't even 
determine if it is possible. I know that this is possible using stdout; it is   the example of freopen on page 172 of the Reference Guide. I would like to do
the same thing with cout, and since I have a LOT of code using cout, it would
be a real pain to go back and use stdout. Borland's tech support think that 
this can be done, but can't tell me how to do it. All I want to do is reassign
cout to a file so that all screen output becomes file output. If anyone can tellme how to do this, I will be very grateful!
