First "redir -o gcc.log gcc -v -o hello.exe hello.c" doesn't put "bad
command or file name" in gcc.log for me; it puts it on the screen.

Anyway, yes indeed. I can recreate your problem.

From experimenting it seems it's the ".log" in "gcc.log" that somehow
makes it fail. If I use "redir -o xxxxgcc gcc -v -o hello.exe hello.c"
it seems to be doing what it should. Or if I first "SET LFN=n", it
works too (but a little differently).

Hope this helps you work-around the problem.

I've sent this message to djgpp-workers too.
