Hi Philippe,

This QSX.exe is a program I wish to do without. It's purpose is to
replace cmd.exe (winXP) or command.com (win98) in a simple manner and
provide a 32K max command line length for passing mixminion params.
winXP cmd.exe has a max length 4096 which I'd say is enough, but
win98 is only 256 as far as I can tell. I don't have win98 and I
don't know if qsx actually provides 32K in win98 but I expect it does.

You say it works now. Are you referring to QSM or just qsx?

I hope you will join my qsmlist mailling list to pursue this a bit
further.

Thanks for your efforts and your report and patch.
