LFN is set to 'y' yes.. I tried it with LFN set to 'n' and it
worked.. but.. but some of the files I want to patch has long
filenames. Am I supposed to bugreport this somewhere, get rid of dos
or just crawl back under my rock ;-)

Hee Hee :-) Some of us likes to live on the edge.. To be honest, I
couldn't imagine that you could use both -o and -eo, maybe some better
docs for redir?? (The only I have found is the ones that comes when
you type 'redir')

I now discovered that 4dos can take care of stderr too, but what if I
want to do something like command |& tee output, under command.com, can redir be used for this.
