Hi All,

I need to call a program with the system call and have stdout and 
stderr redirected to a file, however when I issue the following 
command:

	cat foo0 >& foo1

sh responds with:

	Syntax error: bad fd number

The above line is the correct syntax to redirect stdout and stderr to 
a file or isn't it?

Any help welcome,

Marc.
