os.system limitations on Windows NT

Hi,
I trying to execute a command with a large list of arguments.
When I do os.system("link " + args) the program crashes.
When I write the arguments to a file (fileName) and use

os.system ("link @" + fileName)

the arguments are truncated at an arbitrary point.


I'm using Python 1.5.2

Anyone knows a workaround/solution for this
problem ?


Regards,
Markus
