Subject: B20 (NT) xargs = creates=20 multiple commands, not just one

 
I'm trying to use a
script using xargs
to create a JAR file
in java.....
 
xargs issues multiple
JAR commands apparently
due to the number of files
being passed to it.
 
each time JAR is executed
it clears out the previous
files already added.
 
i really need all the files
included in one JAR command.
 
is there anyway to increase = whatever
buffer is being blown which causes
xargs to execute multiple commands?
