Hello everybody,

if would be fantastic if anybody can help me on this general. problem.
I use dosbox for running very old compiler and linker and no it seems that I have a big problem with the big number of arguments for the linker.
In the past (20 years ago) under real DOS the linker.exe and the arguments were handled with a indirect file in this way:
command < file
The file containes the linker.exe and a lot of arguments and also a lot of lines with & at the end.
Something like this:

linker.exe file1.obj file2.obj &
ix pr li(symbols segments) &
..... and so on

Unfortunately this works not with dosbox (or I make something wrong). If I try to call dosbox in the right way with -c arguments then in general it works perfect, but not with the big number of arguments in one line!

Does anybody have any idea how to handle this typical linker requirements.
