No, I wrote the app, so I don't think it buffers its output (or if it 
does then it can be changed)

I had considered running the program via shellexecute, spooling the 
output to a file and reading in the file.  Seemed quite ugly though...  
I hadn't really given it much more thought, but why would I need a 
wrapper around the shellexecute?  Does it turn out to be difficult to 
start that up with output redirected to a file?
