   How about using logical drives to shorten the path string length?

   CONFIG.SYS:

      lastdrive=f

   AUTOEXEC.BAT:

      subst d: c:\sys\dos\files
      subst e: c:\sys\util\misc
      subst f: c:\user\language\basic\quick
      path=d:;e:;f:

   Make sure subst is in the root directory or include the full path
name for subst (ie. \dos\sys\files\subst).
