Why would you think a thing like that? DJGPP does nothing at all to
change the standard DOS redirection/pipes mechanism. Pipes and
redirection are a feature of the shell (COMMAND.COM or any other shell
that you might use), and DJGPP has nothing to do with it. DJGPP programs
certainly *can* use these features, exactly as any other DOS program
does. `redir' is only required to redirect stderr (because COMMAND.COM
cannot do that).
