From b54e35f6cd9a9de3962daa0112e33bd178c49f6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Levitte Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2016 19:27:08 +0100 Subject: VMS: compensate for command line length limits with a logical name Sometimes, you might end up with a rather long compile line due to excessively long /INCLUDE directories. Compensate for it by making a temporary logical name with them and using said logical name as /INCLUDE argument. A note was added to NOTES.VMS regarding these limitations.
