Subject: redirection of output

From article <1996@sigma.UUCP>, by bill@sigma.UUCP (William Swan):

" Actually, no. What is needed is some form of i/o capture utility. I believe

I was a little terse -- I couldn't remember anything more than that I
had used PIP for this on the Kaypro II.  Now it's coming back to me.  A
terminal program with a capture-text-in-file mode should work.  But you
can use PIP if you're desperate.  You have to modify PIP with DDT by
inserting a few assembler instructions to read the port.  This is a
supported hack -- there's a little room left in PIP for this very
purpose.  As I recall, there is ascii text in the PIP code saying where
the right place is.
