    OK, that is exactly the same as I have.  I tried going into RHIDE and under
Options->Linker Options I typed about 300 alphanumeric characters with seven 9s at
the end.  When I tried to compile, I got this error:
Error: P:/bin/ld.exe: cannot open edfjhdfhlasdfwey89i89u489u4u8pqw4y89pqw [snip]
9999999: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
    I broke it in the middle because I couldn't see it all on one screen, but the
argument was passed to ld just as I typed, all 258 characters.  I'm running Win95
OSR2 with LFN=y (if that makes any difference).  All I can say is that it works
for me.  Is there anything unusual about your system/setup?
