My boss has a 386 clone running DOS 3.30. He has about 10 environment variables that he wants to set in autoexec.bat, but when he does this he sometimes gets an error message about not enough environment space and some applications act strange. Is there a way to increase the amount of environment space? Please respond by mail if possible. Debbie Callahan debbie@das.llnl.gov or debbie@[128.115.41.1]

I think I found this trick on this group. Mike 8) Mike Wood MWOOD@OAVAX.CSUCHICO.EDU
