I am trying to get the output of a dos app into a string within an
active server page.  I have the AspExec component, but it relies upon
the app using "stdio" for its output to be able to grab the string.  The
app I am using does not apparently use stdio, because the string it
returns is always empty.  Is there a way I can work around this?  Is
there a shell app that I can invoke that will turn the output into an
stdio string?  Any help would be appreciated.
