If you don't need to see the output on the screen, a simple "crafty > logfile" would work. Otherwise, it took me about 5 seconds to find a "tee" equivalent that I could download for DOS.

The DOS prompt has become pretty powerful lately. It certainly doesn't have all the things the UNIX command line has, but I'd say there are ways to do most of the stuff with the standard tools. You can also download DOS equivalents to most of the UNIX command shell tools nowadays.
