The problem occurs when redirecting to any file. It seems to be cause by: 1. Using SHARE (have have a 320 meg partition in DOS 4). and 2. When 4DOS (latest version) redirects output, it opens the file denying access to other programs. This, of course, may make sense for files and most devices, but hardly makes sense for NUL. and 3. If the program run is a TSR, then the handle is left open. Therefore All following programs cannot access that file/device I plan to call on this bug, but have been too lazy to do it yet.
