Re: long commands on windows nt return an error

[Eric Christopher]

You didn't specify what version of windows you are running on, or which
shell you are using.  I imagine that it is the dos shell from Win95 (or
some such) which does have a fairly low limit of characters on a single
line.  A way around this is to either use the NT shell (slightly better)
or use /bin/sh from a port of sh.

You could also ask on any of the djgpp mailing lists - they may have a
better idea as to the environment you are working with.
