I received the following error message while trying to make a large library under MSC 6.0 from the nmake utility: NMAKE:fatal error:spawn failed:arg list too long Is there any way to increase the size of permissible arg lists ? Nothing is obvious from the scant documentation that comes with MSC 6.0 - I've had this problem with exec() in Unix where the arg list length is defined in the source and you can't do anything about it except free up some of your environment space - eg. shorten the PATH. Is it the same for DOS and if so what is the size of the maximum arg list ? As a first time user of MSC 6.0, I'm nervous about the amount of postings mentioning bugs in this compiler - Is there a list available from anywhere which documents known bugs and a method of obtaining patches/updates from MS or elsewhere ? Thanx, Paul Keogh keogh@u.nix.ie
