Subject: interesting redir behavior

I have access to caldera corporation's opendos 7.01 and
msdos 6.22.  I've tried redir.exe under both operating systems.
Interestingly enough, under msdos 6.22 the program works as documented.
However under opendos redir.exe when given an identical
command opens output files but leaves them at 0k length and writes
no output in them.  The command string I used was:
redir -o tests.log -eo makeall <cr>.
From a programming standpoint I'm curious as to the difference(s) in the operating
systems that make this behavior happen.
