Check out the program called script.  It can be found on SimTel
mirrors as SCRIPT11.ZIP in the screen/ directory.  If you call
gcc like this:

	script gcc -c ....

or even

	script make myprog

all the messages which go to the screen are *also* written to a
disk file.  Whoever works in Unix will recognize this as Unix
program with the same name.  The only flaw in that program is
that it doesn't catch output sent via Int 29h (fast screen
output), but the only problem I know which uses that method is
PK(UN)?ZIP.
