I use aztec C as a realmode compiler.

It uses:
	=long command line

in the environment to get around the 128 byte limitation.

Many other applications use response files
(i.e. @name)
to indicate to pull the args out of 
	name

1) how can I set an environment variable "=some line"
(I tried it on linux, putenv worked (returned 0) but I couldn't find
it in there, 
djgcc returns some large number...)

Here's the program:
ain(int argc, char **argv)
{
        int result;

        result = putenv("=this is a long string");
        system("sh");
        printf("result = %d\n");
}

How can I get go32 apps to write argc/argv into a response file?
(I can shove this into the environment...)
