I've been trying to build some projects under MSDOS 6.22. However on
certain modules, I keep getting this error:

Stub exec failed:
C:\WATCOM15\BINW\dos4gw.exe
Arg list too big

What does this error mean, and is there a workaround for this? (I
do know about making OW take its input from temporary files but I'd
rather not go down that route). I'm using OW1.5.

Thanks,
Alex

I suppose noone knows the answer to this one?

This problem is, unfortunately, unable to solve under MSDOS 6.22. Only win95 has options for command.com /u:250 to solve it.
The only solution is to reduce the length of the compilation command line.

Perhaps the extraoptionsfile on the cmdline helps @myextraoptions.
Or you could crosscompile for DOS from windows, OS/2, ...

This problem is, unfortunately, unable to solve under MSDOS 6.22. Win95,98 has options for command.com /u:250 to solve it. Add this line to config.sys
shell=c:\windows\command.com /u:250 /p
For msdos 6.22 there only one solution for this - reduce amount of arguments of the compilation command line.

This problem is, unfortunately, unable to solve for DOS versions of WATCOM.
