Does anyone have the patch for PC-DOS 4.01 to expand the default environment
size? I'm sick and tired of this "Out of environment space" error I get
when running DOS sessions under Win3.
BTW, Microsoft ----
You are such a bunch of brain-damaged idiots!!!! Why doesn't the /E
switch work with secondary command processes?????? I can't believe,
that after three major revisions to DOS, this still occurs.

Pull down File Properties and select the Command Line field. Change that field from "COMMAND.COM" to "COMMAND.COM /e:xxx" where xxx is the size of the environment you want. I use 1024. I don't know of any patch for DOS 4.01, since the /e parameter does the job quite adequately. >BTW, Microsoft ---- > >You are such a bunch of brain-damaged idiots!!!!

The /e parameter applies only to the instance of COMMAND.COM you use it on. If you run a secondary COMMAND.COM you must use /e on that one also to expand its environment space. I, too, wish that there was a way to change the default size of the environment so that /e on each COMMAND.COM would be unnecessary. But it would be only a small convenience. >TT > >------------------------------------------------------------ The Time Traveler >I love you, Timur. a.k.a. Timur Tabi >Promise you'll never forget me?

If you had RTFM and experimented before you posted, you could have answered your own question, without calling anyone names. And appending two copies of your .signature to your posts is not likely to impress anyone. Next time, be more careful before you post. -- Steve "I don't speak for Microsoft" Hastings ===^=== ::::: uunet!microsoft!steveha steveha@microsoft.uucp ` \\==|
