Tell me, why not just do something like the following?

sh -c 'command >stdout 2>stderr'

In fact, my first reaction to the redir program was that it could have
been a sh script ...


I frequently find myself coping with csh annoyances by wrapping my
command line with sh -c '[cmdline goes here]'.  I tend to do loops as

sh -c 'for f in *; do whatever; done' 

because I never did like foreach.
