Re: [help-cgicc] How to log under W2K

The header file is what requires it to be an ofstream; if it's not, I'd
think you'll get a linker error.  Perhaps gLogFile could be declared in the
header file as a reference to an ostream?  Then you could set it to an
ofstream if you wanted.

<untested code warning>
ofstream theRealStream("logfile.txt");
ostream &gLogFile = theRealStream;
</untested code warning>

I'm trying to remember now why I sad gLogFile must be an ofstream.  As
far as I remember only the << operators are used, which should work for
any ostream subclass.  I guess I need to review if an ostream is allowed
and then make the documentation clearer.
