Subject: 4DOS command line passing support
Precedence: bulk

Are there any plans to support 4DOS's method for passing long(er) command
lines (up to 255 chars)? The way it works is the environment variable
"CMDLINE" is set equal to the entire command line. This would be a nice
escape from the usual 126, and avoid having to use response files a fair
amount of the time. I realize a program could do it themselves, but it would
be nice for the startup code to detect this, use it if available, and do the
parsing.
