As Margo said, use the 'redir' utility included with the standard DJGPP
distribution.  Example syntax:

  redir -o err.log -eo gcc -Wall -o myprog.exe myprog.c

This will redirect both stdout and stderr to the file 'err.log', which
you can then view.  To get paged output through 'more', use:

  redir -eo gcc -Wall -o myprog.exe myprog.c | more

Type 'redir' without arguments to see a complete list of its
functionality.

News servers are all over the world.  You should be able to subscribe to
comp.os.msdos.djgpp just like any other newsgroup; there are no special
passwords or routines involved.  Check with the administrators of your
Internet Service Provider to find out what news server they recommend.
