     No, BIOS limit (space in BIOS data area) _is_ 16 scancodes. Utility,
which makes buffer 124 bytes long "without resident" may do this only by
reusing some unused space (like Inter-Application Communication Area at
0:4F0) or, for example, places buffer at top of conventional memory (right
before video memory), but in this case it _is_ resident, even though
resident is data only with no additional code.

     No relation. And "length of the DOS command line" is issue of the shell
(command.com).
