Great, thanks! Also, is there a way to redirect stderr under plain DOS
(ie. someone who doesn't have djgpp, bash and other such utils
installed)? Again, rhide does this so maybe it's built into djgpp
executables (like globbing)

I know that much :) Can do I the same (symify or something similar) to
my bombed linux/sunos files (as vi lacks rhide's built in feature)? IE.
some how use the 'core' file to make a call stack?
