Yup, that's usually a shell limitation. If you do something like : program path/to/many/files/* And get that error, you can try and go directly into path/to/many/files and run : program * Since with thousands of files, you would get an expanded command line *much* longer in the first case. This trick often did it for me. If it doesn't work, you're stuck and must find another way of doing things ;-) Matthias -- Matthias Saou World Trade Center ------------- Edificio Norte 4 Planta System and Network Engineer 08039 Barcelona, Spain Electronic Group Interactive Phone : +34 936 00 23 23 _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
