Hi.  I'm using RHIDE 1.0 while writing djgpp programs.  Recently, after
adding a file to my project, the project wouldn't make correctly.  I
eventually figured out that this was happening because of MS-DOS's limit on
the length of a command-line, to 128 characters, I do believe, when RHIDE
needed more.  I've tried running make and RHIDE, under Win95 and DOS 7,
using COMMAND /P /U:255 (to get 255 characters instead), but nothing seems
to fix the problem.

COMMAND /P/U:255 seems to do absolutely nothing.  (Although 255 wouldn't be
enough eventually, anyway.)
I do believe this is a problem with make/RHIDE using system() instead of
one of the exec**() functions.  I can't compile RHIDE though,  (at least)
because of this problem.

I looked on some MS-DOS newgroups, but decided this had to do more with
djgpp.

Thanks in advance for any help/ideas from anyone,
