Searched the MingW mailing list, got this:

 Try Mumit Kahn's little redir utility. I think links to his site are in
 the mingw pages link section. with redir you can either redirect to a file
 or reirect to stdout and use less.

------ Stop ------

I visited the site, and did a (very) superficial search, result: no `redir'
available. See if you can find it. Or google it, it should be archived
somewhere. I remember using it with DJGPP.
