Using a batch file does not change the command-line length limitations
in any way.

Sorry, I still don't understand what ``the problem'' is.  Could you
please post a command line that causes that problem, together with the
error message, and make sure that both the command line and the
message is posted _exactly_ as they look on the screen, without extra
newlines and wrapping?  Please use actual file names that exist on
your systems, and please show us the listing of the directory or
directories in which those files reside.

Finally, please make sure you have only one tar.exe on your PATH, and
the one that is being invoked is, in fact, a DJGPP port of Tar.
