No, I was looking for something more like the redirect capability for
the
output of individual commands from the gdb prompt. Some dbx functions
our
project uses rely on this capability in dbx and (unfortunately) I see no
way of reproducing those functions with gdb user-defined commands.

We've gone through a lot of effort to migrate from Sun's C++ compiler to
the GCC's g++ in order to get past some bugs in the Sun compiler.  That
seems to have worked out well, but I've got a feeling our developers
aren't
going to like switching debuggers.
