A trivial Powershell script should be able to do this.

Hi Ben,

Many thanks for the reply. We dynamically build up a %PATH% location and store 
into a variable. At this point the content of that variable is a string that 
occupies a number of lines. The contents of the variable are then passed 
through MakeTxt.exe and the resultant output is a variable of the %PATH% 
location expressed as a single line of text..

  Can you please give some context for that.  I don't really get what's going 
on.

  The "FOR" built-in command can be used to read lines from a file and 
concatenate them into a single line, if that's what you're after.

  It's probably an old 16-bit DOS program.

  This is a hardware limitation.  When in "long mode" (64-bit mode),
x86 processors cannot execute 16-bit code.  AMD decided it was time to make a 
break from the world of 16-bit when they designed their 64-bit
x86 extensions.  (And Intel copied AMD.)
