I'm sure this is an FAQ, but I can't find the answer in the places I have
looked.  Attempting to redirect the output from printf to a file using '>'
on the command line, or to pipe it to 'more' with '|', is ineffective.  The
program originates on a Unix platform (compiled with gcc) and redirection
and piping work OK there.  However, when compiled for DOS with DJGPP the
output appears to go to the screen irrespective of the '>' or '|'.

Richard.
