I have tried solutions 1 and 2 but they don't do what I'm after, as there is a program running which writes the stdout and stderr stuff to a file and I want to be able to acces that over the com port while the program is running. what I'm after is some way to do a 'tail -f' but in dos, so I can see or atleast access the file over the com port. thanks for your help JR.
