Unless you need to address the problem of running 16-bit DPMI programs
under REDIR, I really don't see why would the real-mode version be
useful.

To say nothing of the fact that the current version of REDIR won't
even compile with anything but DJGPP without extensive changes (and 
the changed version won't work correctly), since it uses some trickery
to pass the command-line arguments unaltered (i.e. without expanding 
wildcards and without removing quotes) to the child programs.
