[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Environment space passing via exec

madd@bu-cs.BU.EDU (Jim Frost) (06/25/88)

Does anyone know how the exec function knows how large of an
environment to allocate for a child process?  I need to give a child a
larger environment than its parent (without the use of command.com).
Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
