Thanks for the hint. I made the changes, but it doesn't solve the problem
though.

Sorry, this was a cut and past error.

To prevent this I add the source in a zip.

If I do the following in dos-box, a log.txt is created:
type q.txt | logger.exe
So I conclude logger is working as expected.

but 
running testprocess.exe
doesn't return, and only the header of the log file is written, so the logger
hasn't received any info from testprocess.exe.

Vincent.
