L1089 occurs when the LINK Utility Version 5.03 is called from FORTRAN
Version 5.00 and the TMP environment variable is set to a long
pathname.

Normal troubleshooting indicates that the TMP variable is corrupt, but
this is not the case. It seems that the temporary filename is being
truncated.

The following sequence produces the error if the subdirectory
D:\COMPILER\FORTRAN5\TMP\ already exists:

SET TMP=d:\compiler\fortran5\tmp
fl sieve.for

LINK : fatal error L1089: D:\COMPILER\FORTRAN5\TMP\000054l
: cannot open response file

This problem occurs in FORTRAN 5.00 and Link 5.03.
