Yeah, looks like I did post that link, but over on comp.os.msdos.programmer.
I've noticed that both John's TSR and DJGPP's redir.exe don't interleave
stderr and stdout messages the way they are emitted to the screen.  Both
seem to write out stderr messages to the file first followed by stdout.  I
combined Santic's redirection with another TSR of mine that converts LF and
CRLF to CRLF.  That way both DOS an Unix line endings work correctly.  Those
two things, wrong line-endings and stderr different from stdout, are two of
the annoying things I've come across with DJGPP.

I'm also posting a NASM version of his code in another post.
