I've been wondering if it's possible to make my path string larger than the DOS V3.3 default of 128 bytes. Does anyone have any tricks that will allow this? I'm willing to patch my command.com in codeview or debug if necessary.

Add the following command to your config.sys file (yes, that's config.sys!) : shell=command.com /e:xxxx /p where: xxxx = a number in the range 160 - 32768 this specifies the size of the environment space /p causese command.com to remain loaded and procede to escute autoexec.bat. Let me know if you have problems. karen looney@uxv.larc.nasa.gov :wq

Normally dos limits the length of any line to something like 127 bytes, regardless of the size of the environment. There are several schemes to accomplish a longer path variable. Awhile back someone posted BIGPATH. It works on my machine running msdos 3.2. I can't speak for anything else.

Hi. I am thinking of writing a shell that replaces command.com (Why? because I am sick of the stupidities of command.com and want a shell that is tailored to my tastes). One thing I can't figure out is how command.com keeps the environment. Where does it put the environment strings and how does a program running off command.com finds it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I know there are a lot of IBM PC experts out there. I have tried asking several people I know without results. Please reply by mail because it is finals week and I won't probably be catghing up with net news. Thanks! - Stephen
