I'm a little confused by this patch, but I'm by no means familiar with
Windows, so bear with me if I speak nonsense.

I didn't realise that Windows shells support the ``>&'' notation.  Do
you know whether all versions do?  Can you confirm whether this breaks
Windows 2000 and Windows 9x?  If it does, do we care?

NT-based versions of Windows should support '>&', which includes
Windows 2000.  I would guess that it doesn't work under Win9x, but
have no way to test.

Regards,
Will

Redirecting standard error is available only in the NT-derivatives. Would just using "@echo off & (command)" work in this context?
