[comp.lang.pascal] re exec error

Just an idea: if the program call has no success for a long path then
look at your envirement size. If it is not large enough DOS truncates
the varibles incorrectly and unpredictable results can accour.
note: DR DOS does it correctly and you get error messages instead of a
system crash.
