Starting with Turbo 3.0 there is a compiler directive that makes Turbo
use MS DOS I/O and then redirection works fine.  I don't have my manual
with me so I do not remember the exact stuff, but its something like
(*$P512 $G256*) where the numbers are the sizes of the buffers you
want to use.  $P is for output (put or something) and $G for input
(get).  It does make all I/O somewhat slower as the overhead for an
MS DOS call is more than Turbo's direct I/O.
