Well, I have found a way to use long command lines in MS-DOS. The trick is to split the command in several parts which are placed in environment variables. Then, the command is generated using the variables rather than the full text. It works well in CMD.EXE, and in the XP version of COMMAND.COM, but I'm not sure it will work under Win ME.
BOB66, could you try it?
Copy the following MS-DOS script in a batch file (with a ".bat" extension), and execute it. Mkisofs should work.
(Note that I have used for this example the arguments you gave in a previous post. Of course, the DVD folder should still be present on your hard disc!)
Code:
set p="E:\WIN_ME\ImgTool\ImgToolClassic\mkisofs.exe"
set a1=-dvd-video -no-pad -p PgcEdit
set a2=-m *backup* -m *Backup* -m .DS_Store -m "Copy of *"
set a3=-split-output
set a4=-V "SAHARA"
set a5=-o "d:\SAHARA.ISO"
set a6="F:\SAHARA"
%p% %a1% %a2% %a3% %a4% %a5% %a6% 2>&1
pause
