Intresting, how do I get filter to give me a substring of hundred or so 
characters?
This would speed up the makefile. What I really need is a way to bypass the os 
command line limits. 
Something like XMAKE's $(write) and $(read). I could not get xmake to run, and 
the docs are in another language.
