"ri_args.ab2", "ri_args_d.ab2" and "ri_args_3.ab2" are new argument
routines by me using "ReadItem". These new routines are able to read
thousands of CLI parameters provided the environment is able to support
this. On "OS3.9" reading thousands of CLI parameters is correctly
achieved with the ROM update. But potentially reading thousands of CLI
parameters could also work on earlier OS versions and is almost correct
with "csh550a.lha".

On the test I did with csh approximately every 10th argument was broken,
which in my opinion is no fault of mine. But if you are aware of another
environment which works correctly in reading thousands of CLI arguments
then feel free to let me know.

When writing for OS2+ these routines in my opinion have subtle advantages
and subtle disadvantages to their predecessors from here:-
