The command line on the XT has a limit of x characters.
Does anyone know how I can increase this line limit since I am
trying to link a bunch of files with MSC's LINK on the command line, but it
won't recognize the ones that won't fit after the x character limit.

For example, if in DOS, if you keep typing a character on the
command line, you'll eventually reach the limit.  Is there any
utilities on  simtel20 that will increase this limit?

Thanks in advance,
Gary
