Why would you think a thing like that?  DJGPP does nothing at all to 
change the standard DOS redirection/pipes mechanism.  Pipes and 
redirection are a feature of the shell (COMMAND.COM or any other shell 
that you might use), and DJGPP has nothing to do with it.  DJGPP programs 
certainly *can* use these features, exactly as any other DOS program 
does.  `redir' is only required to redirect stderr (because COMMAND.COM 
cannot do that).
