Do the same as you did with Linux: 1>file 2>&1

Then 'cat' the file: TYPE file

If you really need 1 and 2 in separate files but
synchronized on the screen then you will need more work.

This is a FAQ. You need to download a TEE utility for Windows.

Timo posts a FAQ on a weekly basis (yesterday in fact) which includes a
TEE.VBS which can be used similar to a TEE.EXE utility.

Windows doesn't have a TEE program so here are your
options:

- Use a third-party TEE, there are probably several. Since you are experienced with Linux you would probably be happy with the set of Linux tools which have been ported to Windows (I've forgotten the name).

- See if PowerShell, Visual Basic Script, or JScript
will do the job.

There are a few. I believe MinGW is kept pretty current. I use the version of
GnuWin that's included with Ch. ( http://www.softintegration.com/ if you're
interested.)

- So what are you having?
- Gin. Make it a double.
- Me too.
- So that's double, double and... you've got toilet trouble?

The pipe only connects STDOUT to STDIN, it does not even think about
other streams. If you want STDERR to go to the pipe redirect it to
STDOUT (2>&1):

dbdoctor -drc -shapes -no_backup vic.brd 2>&1 | [your TEE program here]

Try this (tested using a DIR command with file not found output)...

dbdoctor args 2>&1 | cscript /nologo c:\bin\TEE.VBS > all_output

VBScript's .stderr will be sent to screen while .stdout will be
redirected to file named all_output.

In otherwords, do not misuse 2>file because all output from dbdoctor
will be included in both the file as well as on screen.
