I believe that spawn...() doesn't start a command shell, which is what you
need to do redirection.  There is another call, system() I think, which
does start a command shell and feeds the arguments to it.  You could use
that.  The arguments should be essentially a command line that is to be
fed to command.com, but I don't have my manuals at hand to check any of this.

Or you could spawn...() a command.com, and build an arg list for it that
does what you need, but the system() call (in TC2.0) does all that for you.
