Robert, I wish I knew the answer to this problem myself.  If you find
out, please let me know.

My solution around this problem was to rename my directories, using
short names, so I could get everything I needed to fit into the 128
char limit.  Also, I broke up the paths into several batch files, each
for a specific purpose.  For example, cdev.bat sets up only the paths
& environmental variables necessary for C-code development.

I know the above is a hack, but it *does* get around the limit problem.

Bob
