Hi Stefan,
thanks for the tip. Apparently it really uses Backspaces (0x08), but
the characters between them are all non-ASCII. I tried diffferent
encodings (UTF8, WinLatin1, MacRoman), none of them produced a
meaningful output.
Here's a hex dump:

Any ideas what encoding this could be? What encoding is the data
received by Shell.ReadAll() supoosed to be, anyway?
Cheers,

I suppose, your data - the asterisks - is inside but you won't see
it on
screen, since the control chars do 'fun stuff'.
A shell process might switch to terminal mode, if it identifies the
caller
of an app as an interactive shell process connected to a capable
terminal.
In your case, the process should NOT switch to terminal mode.
Don't know, are actually generated, but I'd google for VT-52 or
something like that.
Here is what shows up, when I do an erase of an empty DVD-RW -
output of
drutil redirected to file and opened using vi:

Thus, drutil is oddly written :-(
