Wow. Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your effort for putting
up such complete and nicely formatted code, including testing code.
Thank you very very much.

Like Patricia said, I am almost there. Based on your code, my class
ends up to be:

class TeeOutputStream extends OutputStream
{

....

Since now, all System.out.println(..) message is shown on the console
progressively when the program running and be saved into a file at the
end by writing out our logger object to a xml file.

Thank you again for all the help.

This is still far harder, more fragile and less flexible that biting the
bullet and *using a logging framework*.

In your career you will have to learn when to do the right thing. Doing the
wrong thing, although you believe it now to be more expedient, will inevitably
bite you in the ass. Hopefully at that time you'll say to yourself, "Well, Lew
warned me this was going to happen. I should have listened back then when it
was only a simple matter of substituting text in 500 locations instead of
having to maintain this kludgey, buggy, large subsystem."
