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.
