I have been using make-3.79 on WNT for several months now.  Many of the
applications link a large number of objects.  For these particular projects
I get "The input line is too long" in the link phase of building the
executable.  

I started reading the "README" files located in the make build directory.
The README.DOS file seems to indicate that I should be able to execute a
commands (link for example) in make with up to approximately 16,000
characters.  I am trying to execute a "link" command with approximately
8,000 to 10,000 characters and I get a message from the MS-DOS Prompt "The
input line is too long" and the link command fails.

Looking for some insight, direction, or clarification?  

Thanks,
Tim
