ahhhh   Thankyou for at least restoring some recognizable landmarks,  I
remember now did have it working once using 2>
under NT.  It is javac I am trying to run btw.  I guess that means that javac
IS going to stderr.  It is in the NT
environment at work that it matters most so thankyou much!  Whether I can do
it at home under W98 matters less.
