From the description, it sounds like this might be a shell program, or
a DOS program. If this is the case, you might be able to redirect the
output to an output file using the >> or | notation on the command line.
If not, look for additional parameters that will give an alternate
output. If not, my advice would be to dump it and redo the computation
in something else, perhaps LV.
