Subject: Re: catch stderr

Thanks Paul,

The interesting thing is, I have tried this trick with Turbo C++ under 
windows 2000. when I wrote a simple program calling int21/46, or the C dup2 
function, and used "redir net use...", it worked. But when I copied that 
piece of asm or dup2 code into the C program that use system("net use..."), 
it does not work! So strange... It may not be a problem of ruby, so...
