   Extend maximum command line length?

   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Just wanted to ask -- would it be possible to extend the maximum command line   
   length for archivers (Pack Cmd, Unpack Cmd and View Cmd), say, to double or   
   triple the current maximum length?   
      
   As some archivers have rather long options (for which there are no shorthand   
   counterparts), and sometimes it is necessary to create a small "pipeline" of   
   commands to cover up for an archiver's handling of paths (e.g. having to   
   switch to the temp directory and add files from there to avoid getting paths   
   in the resulting archive, or having to switch to the temp directory as there   
   is not "destination dir" flag).   
      
   Thanks in advance! :)   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
