In case you're all wondering about the chummy vagueness of this
message, I *meant* to send it to my buddy Carmen and Sybase... (I'm
still learning how to use 'elm'.)

Hi there, que pasa?
When I was in ISS, there was really a rock-hard limit of 996 bytes in the
cmd.exe command line buffer.
I don't have an NT machine at hand at the moment to fool around with, but
Ames suggests that the 996 limit was 3.5 only, and 4.0 has a much larger
limit (either 10K or 32K, according to what people are posting to the
jamming mailing list). And I don't know where it would be documented, but
you could probably determine the limit with a script that tries to invoke
a long command.
Good luck,
