If you want, there's a remedy for that, as well: *Compile* the batch
files to .com files, using PC Magazines 'Bat2exec'. Remarkably enough,
those compiled batch files do support redirection, unlike the
originals.

I used it, a *long* while ago, to set up a whole legion of such
compiled batches for the DJGPP port of NETPBM. Worked like a charm,
once I got it set up.
