Summary: writefile broken in Windows 5.9.0

Initial Comment:
writefile(&quot;c:/temp/dribble&quot;);
x^3;
closefile();

Creates the file specified, but doesn't put anything into 
it.  I tried ending the Maxima session to see if there was 
some channel still open or something, but that didn't 
change anything.  I also tried running a very long 
session, to see if there was some buffer flushing 
problem, but that didn't help either.

Maxima 5.9.0 GCL 2.5.0 mingw Windows 2000 Athlon

5.9.1cvs on clisp and gcl, writefile creates and writes both
%i and %o stuff to the file.

5.9.1 official release on cmucl, writefile writes only %o.

There have been several changes to src/macsys.lisp, which
defines $WRITEFILE, so it's possible this has been fixed.
It's also possible that this is a problem in the
implementation of DRIBBLE in Lisp. 

Marking this item as "pending" -- should be retested.

WinXp   Maxima 5.9.1
writefile("test.txt");
This creates the file OK but the only thing that gets put in
the file is the  things typed at the command prompt. The
results from Maxima do not show up in the file. Nothing
shows up from a batch file just the typed characters when
you call the batch file. 
Also the end of line characters are the Linux method so the
file cannot be used by Notepad, must use OOo. or wordpad.
I hope this helps.
