if you want an ultra-quick-and-dodgey solution, use zsh as the
shell, and do this

    $ zsh
    % prog x y z > filename > /dev/stdout
    % echo $?

(zsh supports redirection to more than one file; it will dupe
 file descriptors etc. as appropriate)

if you don't get a reply by the end of today, i'll forward your
email to the zsh-users list and see if they can suggest a
solution for other shells.
