Subject: Ambiguous redirection

As discussed in lab 1 and in class last week there are two
common families of command shell in Unix.   The sh/bash
family supports this form of redirection but the csh/tcsh
family does not.

You can start up the bash shell by simply entering

bash

So if you get the ambiguous redirection message, the solution
is:

bash
./a.out 4 3 <proj.txt 1> proj.mapp 2> proj.err
