Thanks for the lengthy explanation, but if you had read my mail carefully, you would have seen that I never doubted that windows needs something like this with its crappy cmdln.

This I knew already. My conclusion is that Linux does not need a new standard but Lazarus debug output can be improved.

We agree that we want a better debug output but the problem is more pressing on Win than on Linux, as there are easy workarounds on the *nix side. I just don't like bringing windows solutions to Linux where the problem simply does not exist. R. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
