     _S_e_t_o_u_t will change the LDMC output file, to be the file
     named in its argument.  The special name "-" means the stan-
     dard output, note that this is not always equal to the name
     of the current control terminal.  The default output stream
     is "stdout".

     Before opening the new output stream, the previous one is
     closed, except when this file is attached to "stdout".

     Since only the me function will generate LDM output, only
     the output file during me is effective.  This makes it
     impossible that the description of a cell is split over more
     than one output file.

     To allow more flexibility in doing i.o., for example to set
     up pipes etc., the current output stream is available in the
     external variable ll_out.

     It is reported when setout can't open _f_i_l_e, or when _f_i_l_e
     contains non-printing characters. In these cases, the output
     will go to stdout.
