I'll have to admit that I don't use 2r1 myself.  I use OPUS make which lets
me use 2>&1>>filename in my makefile.  One possibility: did you use > rather

the last step, and perhaps it didn't have any errors.

If 2r1 is broken, and you don't want to pay for 4dos, there are other
possibilities for redirecting stderr at oak.oakland.edu.  I once tested one
of these, I think redir.zip, with an older version of djgpp.
