Get the file faq102.zip and read section 6.13 in the DJGPP FAQ list.  It
describes a few options to redirect standard error stream to a file.  
(Make prints its error messages to stderr, rather than to stdout, and 
command.com cannot redirect stderr.  That's why you can't pipe the output 
to `more'.  The FAQ tells you how to do it.)
