4DOS (freeware) or DJGPP djdev205.zip redir.exe should be able to redirect stderr on Win95 for you. There are other tools for that, too, like Raymond Moon's STDERRF.

I recall that Rod Pemberton converted a small TSR to NASM that redirected all stderr to stdout. Look at John Santic's website for the original or comp.os.msdos.programmer for the NASM version.

I still use my own tiny assembly screendump ("scrndump") util, but it's very wimpy. You should be able to figure out how to dump B800:0000 to file pretty easily. There's also Loren Blaney (XPL0)'s SNARF for graphical screenshot.

FYI, an online Norton Guide for MS C 5.1 is here.
