I tried '&>' and also '2>', '1>'...

Any idea to workaround this ?

In fact i just want to know when render is finished... I used to get ' rendering line
n f n' on one pipe
and 'Click on window to exit' on the second one. Now i get 'rendering line n-m of n'
on the first one and 
nothing on the second one. I don't really need complete statistics... Just try :

	povray pov.ini +Istuff.pov +P +GAstats.txt 1> output.txt

When pov pause who don't have anything in output.txt and stats.txt is incomplete. 
There is no element that can tell me that render is finished...

Thanks !!
