Hi. Sorry if this has been covered, but I tried DejaNews and looked in 
all the documentation that seemed appropriate.

A while back I was working on a C++ project using RHIDE and DJGPP and 
NASM. This project had lots of source files - over a dozen if I recall 
correctly. (I'm using DOS 7, BTW)

Anyway, after the project grew to a certain number of files, linking 
would fail under RHIDE. By playing around with the number of optimization 
flags I had turned on, I discovered that the problem was that the command 
line was getting chopped off. So I made a makefile. Shelling out and 
running make worked fine, no matter how long the command line it generated.

My question is this: Is there a way around this command line length 
limitation in RHIDE? It's a hassle to shell out every time I want to 
rebuild. 

BTW, my compliments to the authors. RHIDE, DJGPP and NASM are 
excellent tools and I appreciate having them around.
