In case it wasn't obvious, I meant that running a single DJGPP app
(not nested) will indeed allow you to use longer cmdlines. A quick
grep in FreeCOM sources does show some support for this. IIRC, this
workaround was used back in Win9x (but sadly doesn't work under XP's
NTVDM).

(quoting "com084/source/freecom/CHANGED"):

"
v0.84pre2
add: exec sets CMDLINE if command-line is longer than 125 characters;
if setting CMDLINE fails, so does exec. (All DJGPP-compiled apps and
various others support CMDLINE for passing parameters)
"
