So you could say blink with withfile where withfile contained all the stuff. This overcomes a 255-odd character limit in command lines. lmk offers some support in that it can generate withfiles for you, so you can say blink <with < FROM $(OFILES) TO p2c LIBRARY lib:a.lib+lib:lc.lib NODEBUG < and it would build a file with the stuff in it including macro expansions. > Advance Thanx, > fred Peter -- Peter Cherna, Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.

Oh. [is lib:a.lib amiga.lib?] Anyway, yes, there is a limit; you can't have a command line longer than 255 bytes, since it is passed to the program as a pointer in A0 and a (byte-sized) length in D0. This doesn't seem to include the command name, but does include the trailing newline. You have several options. Use shorter filenames, or you can use Join to concantenate a bunch of the object modules, and put the resultant file in the lib section, before the first library, a.lib. This should work, so long as all the modules in the created library are referenced by whatever modules you put on the command line still. Good luck. Deven -- Deven T.

Is there anyway around the 256 line length restriction? I guess that using $(MACROS) would not help. Joanne Albano, Center for Visual Science (716) 275-3055 Room 274 Meliora Hall, Univ. of Rochester, Rochester NY 14627 INTERNET: jea@cvs.rochester.edu
