Hi D.J.,

I decided to do a little further investigating and again encountered a
failure but an interesting failure nonetheless.
I went to d:\djgpp\tests\libclink and
tried this command:
redir -o libclink.log -eo make <cr>
The result was as before a 0k file with nothing in it being
libclink.log but unlike use of a batch file I heard on the terminal
command not recognized rather than the silence as heard before.
Evidently running an exe gets different behavior than a bat file with redir when
attempting to catch all output in a file.
