[net.micro.pc] expanding dos environment space

tw@oce-rd2.UUCP (Theo Wilbers) (06/11/86)

Can anyone send me information about how to expand the
dos environment space for dos 3.1(IBM AT).
I missed the mailing which was send a few weeks ago.

First line in your config.sys becomes something like this:

        SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P C:\ /E:20
                                       ^^environment size in paragraphs

Note that if you move up to dos 3.2, you specify environment size using
the same "/E:" switch, but the size is then in BYTES rather than paragraphs.
