Perhaps someone can help me with this problem: i've been having trouble getting some tsr's to start up correctly from within my AUTOEXEC.BAT. The programs are UNCLE (command-line editor) and FILEC (file-name completion). When started after my machine has booted and autoexec.bat has been run, they install fine and there are no compatibility problems with the rest of my tsr's. But when i try to automatically install them within autoexec.bat, the system boots and then if i try to run any .exe file i get somthing like program too big to fit in memory memory allocation error, system halted i tried removing various other tsr's in my autoexec.bat and each time got the same system crash. I *finally* got them to work when i put them at the bottom of my autoexec.bat, which now looks something like PATH = .... TSR1 TSR2 . . . SET VAR1 = ... SET VAR2 = ... SET VAR3 = ... PROMPT UNCLE -options FILEC -options It looks like they have to be *after* i set my environment variables. Does anyone have ideas why this may be the case? Does autoexec.bat allocate memory for environment variables in a special way? Thanks in advance. ================================= Mike Sintchak Dept. of Pharmaceutical Chemistry UC San Francisco =================================
