           ******************** REDIRDEV.COM ********************

This program will take a standard DOS character device and redirect it to any
other DOS standard character devices, such as redirecting AUX to COM2 (such
as might be used for a dumb terminal debugging). It was tested with MS-DOS
6.22, if it works with other versions could someone tell me which one it is
and I will add it to this file.

Requires DOS version 3.1 or later.

===== SYNTAX =====
  REDIRDEV dev1 dev2

===== WHERE =====
  dev1 is the device to redirect
  dev2 is the device to redirect to

===== EXAMPLES =====
  REDIRDEV AUX COM2
    Redirects the AUX device to the COM2 device.

  REDIRDEV NUL CON
    Redirects the NUL device to the CON device.

  You get the idea...
  NOTE that the trailing colon (:) is NOT included.

===== NOTES =====
  Once a device is redirected, it cannot be un-redirected in this version.
  Also, any program with sends data the the physical ports remains unaffected.

  The devices supported are:
    COM1
    COM2
    COM3
    COM4
    LPT1
    LPT2
    LPT3
    CON
    AUX
    NUL
    PRN

===== WINDOWS =====
  This is untested with Windows 95 and Windows NT. Perhaps someone will test
  them to see if they work and tell me.

  If run before Windows 3.xx the changes also affect windows.
  If run in a Windows 3.xx DOS box, the changes remain! What does this tell you
  about windoze? Answer: Windoze is just a DOS front end!

  distribution fee though.
