When invoking non-DJGPP programs, yes. When Make invokes DJGPP programs, it passes long command lines (up to 16KB). > Before Win95 the command line was limited to 127 characters.

Somebody submitted changes for the appropriate library functions to include this support, so this feature will probably be included in the next release of DJGPP. > With this in mind, wouldn't it make sense to modify Make allow for > longer lines? The change should not be done in Make itself. Make simply calls library functions to run programs, so the change should be done in those library functions.
