This message is produced by the DJGPP system function and can have
several reasons:

1) The length of the commandline together with the size
   of your environment is bigger than your transfer buffer.
   This buffer is normaly 16K (until you cnaged it manually).
   But this reason I cant imagine except the names of the 
   object files are realy very long names.
   You can check the length of the commandline when you run
   RHIDE with the '-dc' switch and redirecting the output to
   a file.

redir -e err rhide -dc YOUR_PROJECT

   Now run the link stage (Compile/Link) and exit RHIDE.
   Look at the file 'err' and see, how long the commandline
   is. If it is realy longer than 16k, then you should
   stubedit rhide.exe to give it a bigger transfer buffer.


2) You are using an other shell than command.com and as far as
   I know, there are some limitations. Have you set the
   SHELL environment variable?
