Ok that helps.

C:\djgpp>unzip32 djdev202
Warning: TZ environment variable not found, cannot use UTC times!!
Archive:  djdev202.zip
  inflating: bin/bin2h.exe
  inflating: bin/coff2exe.exe

 etc. etc. etc.
All the files appear unzipped, but what does this warning mean. ? I'm just trying
to make sure everything is working right.

Yes it was copied and pasted directly from my Dos box exactly as it appears
above. . I think I can get to use unzip32 without solving this particalar dilemma
right now, but I would still like to find out why the redirect doesn't work.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Last week I asked

the answer I got from "Johan Venter" <jventer AT writeme DOT com was :

"Redirect it too a file with redir:
redir -oe -e error.log <command>
So, for a simple compile example:
redir -oe -e error.log gcc -o test.exe test.c
The output will be in error log."

I got it to work when I compiled a file but I have no idea what stdout and stderr
are. Never heard of em. What are they ?

Neither works
This is cut and pasted directly from my Dos box :

C:\djgpp>redir -oe -e error.log unzip32 djdev202
Bad command or file name

C:\djgpp>redir -e error.log -oe unzip32 djdev202
Bad command or file name

C:\djgpp>

Not in a way that I can understand. I did read
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/utils/utils_7.html
about redir seven or eight times and I'm still lost. I'm hoping once I am able to
get things working maybe I can learn more by experimentation, but I haven't
gotten to that point yet.
