I can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  In Unix it would be fairly
straightforward but I am not finding an answer in DOS.  
Lets say I have a program and I want to redirect the output of com1 (or any
of the others, ie. com2, lpt[1-3] ).
Now I want to redirect the output to a FILE, so that anything this program
produces and thinks it is sending to com1 is actually going to FILE.txt.

Device, mode both seem to be dead ends; any ideas or is there some el-cheapo
software to overcome this problem.

If interested I will summarize to the net and any interested parties.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas
