The only reason I tried doing this in the first place was to get round this limitation on the V2.7.2 tools I got from ftp.lysator.liu.se Is this limitation something in the shell or is it built in to the tools I built? Or maybe neither of these ... I don't think it's the shell because the djgpp compiler seem to accepts command lines of any length. Cheers, Phil -- Philip Boucherat
