[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Setting size of Environment Space

gw1e+@andrew.cmu.edu (Gabriel M. Wachob) (04/05/91)

Does anyone out there know how to make the environment space larger in
MS-DOS 3.3? I keep on getting a "Out of environment space" (or something
like that) error when I have to put a lot of variables in the
environment.. (BTW, this is for GCC/CPP for the 386/486 which is a
protected mode compiler (32 bit flat address space!!!))

In regards to 3418 on environment space, you might try the following
line in your config.sys file:

     shell=c:\command.com /p/e:360

where 360 is the size (in bytes) you want your environment space to be.
