In DOS >3.2 and 3.3 the size is in *paragraphs* (16 bytes chunks), and it's >documented and supported. Pay even *closer* attention. The above is exactly backwards. It is DOS 3.1 that has the size in *paragraphs*, and it is in 3.2 and up that it is in *bytes*. (I suspect that Microsoft didn't want to have to explain what a PARAGRAPH was, so they didn't document it until the option took bytes as an argument). By the way, the maximum number of paragraphs of environment under 3.1 is 62. This amounts to 992 bytes. Dos 3.2 and up allow much larger environments then this.
