Look at Karl's example carefully. The variable setting affects only one process

while your example sets max_print_line for the current shell and thus probably interferes with log-file parsers.
Not speaking Unix, it was totally unclear to me that the effect of the "env" command was restricted to the next command on the same line ...
On Windows you can write a batch file which sets max_print_line locally and calls pdftex.
But does one need to ? Could one not write set max_print_line=9999&pdfTeX <filename>&max_print_line=132 (or whatever the default value is) ? ** Phil.
