Capturing Error Output on DOS

[Eljay Love-Jensen]

Hi Martijn,

Rob pointed out MSYS as a replacement for COMMAND.COM (or is it CMD.COM with WinME?).

Two other excellent shell options:
Cygwin's bash shell (www.cygwin.com)
JPSoft's 4DOS shell (www.jpsoft.com)

Personally, I like Cygwin's bash shell.

JPSoft's 4DOS was sold with Norton Utilites as NDOS once-upon-a-time.  Also available as 4NT and 4OS2 shells.

Cygwin's bash shell is very Unix-y.  JPSoft's 4DOS shell is like COMMAND.COM on steroids.  I use them both.  Cygwin''s bash shell is priced right, JPSoft's 4DOS costs a little money (which I've paid, for 4NT ... I liked it that much!).

I haven't used MSYS.

HTH,
--Eljay
