All DOS (console) programs that use the StdOut DOS facility to write to the console can be redirected to a file using ... program.exe > output.txt Use two greater-than signs for appending to an existing file. However, some older programs were known to write directly to the video hardware, bypassing the StdOut stream. The output from such programs cannot (easily) be captured into a file. Hopefully, the program in question will be well behaved. Tom Lavedas ----------- http://www.pressroom.com/~tglbatch/
