doesn't find the exe file when current dir name long (V 3.0.3 (Windows))

[Mehrdad Pakzad]

Dear Arnold,

There are times that you don't know what to do, spend several days
working on something to no avail ... then you find a great software
coming to your help. Your program is one of the great ones, thank you!

I don't know this is a bug of your program or a problem from the Windows
side, but anyway:

the problem:

My version of gawk: GNU Awk 3.0.3 (Windows)
My version of Windows: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
                      (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

I have the bin folder of gawk in the environmental variable 'path', and
it works everywhere fine, but,

not in this folder:
D:\mine\Lorestan\10\disp\0.012-0.095\shiftinclu\multiSour\1Km\aaaaaa\a>gawk
The system cannot execute the specified program.

not in this folder:
D:\mine\Lorestan\10\disp\0.012-0.095\shiftinclu\multiSour\1Km\aaaaaaa >gawk
The system cannot execute the specified program.

but it runs in this folder:
D:\mine\Lorestan\10\disp\0.012-0.095\shiftinclu\multiSour\1Km\aaaaaa\

Only one letter more and it doesn't find the exe file.

Thank you again,
Regards,
Mehrdad
