Re: Standard Input Max Length Limitation

OK, the real problem in detail: 

Here is the 4-line program:

include get.e
sequence s
s = gets(0)
printf(1, "Length: %d\n", length(s))

Under Windows XP, I run DOS Command Prompt.
Then do EX TEST.EX

Start to type.  It will not allow you to type more than 128 characters.  The
cursor simply stays put after typing a while.

I have also tried the TCSH shell using Cygwin.  Same issue.

I'm writing a language interpreter and really want user to be able to enter long
command lines, e.g. print("a long string .... etc etc")

Thanks 

Bryan

ps... regarding "running under Vanilla DOS" comment.  I am under the impression
that ex.exe is supposed to be run under vanilla DOS, right?  What else is
available that is more recommended.  Thanks.
