Redirections are handled by the shell. This is true on Unix, on Windows
NT, on Windows 9x and on DOS. Of course on Windows 9x and DOS the shell
is so bad that it doesn't even support redirections.

Yes, with vanilla Win9x there is not solution. The only solutions I
see are:
 * run the test in a debugger and to suspend it at the appropriate time.
This is what I usually do. Of course it sort of implies you are also
committed to fixing the bug while you're at it.
 * write your own tool to start the tests and redirect their output to a
file.
 * use a better shell out of cygwin or mks toolkit.

Probably not.

Thanks.
