For those who are still battling path length and lack of environment
space, here is some usefull info.

In this months PC Magazine there is an article dealing with this
subject, exactly, page 421 of the August issue.

In it is says you can change your environment space by using the
following command in your CONFIG.SYS file..
	shell=c:\command.com /P /E:512
where COMMAND.COM is in the root directory of the c drive and 512 is the
amount of space you want reserved for your environment.

I have used it, I was given the traditional warning about envir.. space
before but not after.

The article also gives some references to look at if you are more
interested in what is going on here.

This may not be the ultimate solution, but then again.. :^).

If there is something major that I am overlooking someone in the know
can correct me.

later...
kevin
