Analog on the Mac converts drag and drop config files into the equivilant
Unix command line. It uses the command line option for an additional
configuration file. You probably want to delete most of what is in the
default config file ('analog.cfg') which will be read first. Future Mac
versions will only read the manditory config file when you drag and drop
a config file, but for now it works the other way.
Why you are getting the command line too long error, I have no idea.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
