This is because the "512" is interpreted as bytes for those versions of DOS. For DOS 3.1, the "512" would be interpreted as number of 16-byte paragraphs, yielding a number larger than DOS can handle. For DOS 3.1, I recommend using: SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:40 This yields 640 bytes for environment. ================================================================ Steve Isenberg arpanet: smi@relay.proteon.com Interactive Images, Inc ma bell: 617-938-8440 Woburn, Mass Secretary, Boston Area Novell User's Group (Call our free BBS at 617-932-0310 2400,N,8) ================================================================
