Hello Ed!

This program fixes the I/O-redirection bug. If you use the console-window
from Gemini and on of those "softwareblitters" you can't direct the output
from a program (a contents-listing of a zoo-archive for example) to a file
or the printer port, because the new BIOS-routines of Quick-ST and Turbo-ST
doesn't care about I/O-redirection.

Greetings, Olaf
