Some of the Windows compilers come with a program called RSE that redirects
stderr to stdout.

Under Windows NT you can do something like

prog > output 2>&1

which redirects stdout to 'output' and redirect handle number 2 (stderr)
into handle number 1 (stdout).

You can also do

prog 2> out.stderr 1> out.stdout

to get them to go to different places. This works under cmd.exe. Your
mileage may vary with other shells (I use the Hamilton C-Shell).

Actually, one anomoly I noticed is that the processing messages aren't

This is kind of a Unix thing. You write error and processing
messages to stderr so they don't interfer with the data flow
(Unix uses pipes a lot).

OK, I can't argue with that.

I can't remember how you redirect stderr to stdout in DOS
(but it should be in the manuals).

Hmm.  I could be wrong, but I don't think there is any reasonable way to
manage stderr.  Definitely no command-line directive (like piping), and
I can't find any command in the reference.  Oh, well.  Not a big deal.
