TheCheat Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm running MS DOS 6.22 and I have a curses based program to display some information. I would like to know if there's a way to grab that information and output it to a text file. I tried doing something like this:C:\> myCursesProgram > 1.txtBut it didn't work at all, which I figured would happen. I believe the proram has an option to output that information to a floppy disk. However, I don't know any other computer in the building that has a floppy drive, and I don't know if we have floppy drives to begin with, although they shouldn't be too, too hard to come by. So I was wondering if it's possible to redirect the output that would be going to the floppy to a local text file instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
