- RDSTDERR - redirect STDERR output to a file.
-
- I wrote this program to fill a void left by the inability of MS-DOS to redirect
- STDERR. Microsoft's MASM outputs it's error messages to STDERR and I needed an
- easy way to capture these messages to a file so I could edit the source with
- the error messages in front of me. I release it now to the Public Domain in
- the hope that it might make someone else's life a little easier and to attempt
- to repay the authors of all the fine PD software that I've used over the years.
-
- To use it, enter "RDSTDERR FILE COMMAND" at the DOS prompt. FILE should be the
- name of the file to direct STDERR output to and COMMAND should be the command
- to submit to DOS. The redirection only stays in effect until the command is
- finished.
-
- I've included the source in this archive so the program may be tailored to your
- needs. The program has been tested on both an honest to goodness IBM PC/XT and
- Bullet-286 clone (both running DOS 3.30).
-
- Finally, no warranty is given with this program and no liability is assumed.
- Use this program at your own risk. Please distribute this archive in its
- original form only. No charge may be made for distribution of this program or
- an archive containing it.
