I''m after a nice function to dump info in a text file in order to trace whatever I wish from my program (unless there is something built into VCpp, (I saw some things on the ''net about a Trace function but it seems to be part of MFC...).) Since I suspect this is a really ubiquitous generic sort of thing that most programmers must use I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction? Thanks!

C : fopen, fprintf and the other "f" functions
C++ : fstream classes (ofstream in this case)

If I''m not mistaken, Trace is a wrapper for OutputDebugString. There might be suitable code in the reference section. Dean Harding has a nifty multi-threaded logging library you might want to check out http://www.codeka.com/
