C:\djgpp>unzip32 djdev202 Warning: TZ environment variable not found, cannot use UTC times!! Archive: djdev202.zip inflating: bin/bin2h.exe inflating: bin/coff2exe.exe etc. etc. etc. All the files appear unzipped, but what does this warning mean. ?

I tried the exact command above, and it worked for me. > Are you sure this was the *exact* command you typed? Yes it was copied and pasted directly from my Dos box exactly as it appears above. . I think I can get to use unzip32 without solving this particalar dilemma right now, but I would still like to find out why the redirect doesn't work. > > > Btw, if by "-oe -e error.log" you meant to redirect both stdout and > stderr to error.log, then you were wrong. I have no idea what you're talking about. Last week I asked >How do I copy > the entire contents of the dos box into the clipboard ? the answer I got from "Johan Venter" So, for a simple compile example: redir -oe -e error.log gcc -o test.exe test.c The output will be in error log." I got it to work when I compiled a file but I have no idea what stdout and stderr are. Never heard of em. What are they ? > The handles Handles ?

You need to do it the other way around: > > redir -e error.log -oe unzip32 djdev202 Neither works This is cut and pasted directly from my Dos box : C:\djgpp>redir -oe -e error.log unzip32 djdev202 Bad command or file name C:\djgpp>redir -e error.log -oe unzip32 djdev202 Bad command or file name C:\djgpp> > > This is explained in the redir docs. Not in a way that I can understand. I did read http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/utils/utils_7.html about redir seven or eight times and I'm still lost. I'm hoping once I am able to get things working maybe I can learn more by experimentation, but I haven't gotten to that point yet. Red
