Re: -.ld file

[Joe Beach]

Hi,

Take a look at the lout man page. If you installed the man pages in / 
usr/local/man, the command would be:

man /usr/local/man/lout.1

In the Output section, it says that you can redirect the error messages  
with the command line flag -e:

-e filename
     Direct error messages to filename instead of to stderr.

In the Cross-reference datatase section, it says the reading/writing of  
the cross-reference database can be suppressed with the flag -s:

-s
    Suppress  all  reading  and  writing  of  the  cross   reference
    database;  other  databases  are not affected.  Useful when
    many simple documents that don’t do any cross referencing are
    stored in one directory.


I have never used either of these flags, but I think they will do what  
you want.
