Assume I terminate Cygserver and any other Cygwin services running, I
then start "ash.exe" by double clicking it in a Windows Explorer window,
from the command line in the "ash.exe" window I start my Ash Shell
script which in turn starts "setup-x86*.exe" with a very long command
line.
Am I interpreting you correctly in assuming that under these circumstan-
ces the maximum length of this command line is 2 * 10**9 ASCII charact-
ers on my box?
This would be just enough I think.
Sincerely,
Rainer
