[net.micro.pc] probelms setting environment variables

lkk@mit-eddie.UUCP (Larry Kolodney) (07/19/84)

We just gota PC-XT, and I am trying to set up a hierarchical file system on the
hard disk.  This requires that I set the environment search path to about 10
directories, as well as setting about 5 other environment variables that
some of our canned software needs.
	I created a autoexec.bat file to do all this, but I get
an Out of Environment space error when I boot the system.  The manual says
that the system automatically increases environment space EXCEPT when there is
a program resident.  I presume the problem here is the command.com is a resident 
program.  Does this mean I can't automatically set up an environment when I boot
the system?  Can IBM really lose that bad?

Please reply by mail.

Thanks in advance.
