 Hello netlanders:
I do not seem to be able to expand the size of my 
enviroment. This is under Zenith MS-DOS 3.1, but I
have the same problem under PC-DOS 3.1 on a 6300.
I have a batch file called 'pathos.bat {flames>dev/null}
that is run as the last step in autoexec.bat. Despite
the shell command in config.sys, my path is truncated at/near
the 127th character. But! "set"s after it in the pathos are
installed ok. I am guessing my problem has to do with
maximum length of the buffer, etc. But if so, how can
I break up the "path=........" into many lines, as I have lots
more subdirs that are not making it into the path area now
here is my CONFIG.SYS
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /P/E:50
device=\xmm.sys 512 0 e0 512 218
device=\vdisk.sys 512 /E
DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
DEVICE='RAMDRV.SYS
files=20
buffers=20
LASTDRIVE=ee
and my pathos.bat
path d:\;c:\;c:\cpsw\bi;c:\cpsw\isi;c:\exe\util;c:\exe\dos;c:\exe\tasm;c:\mwc;c:\exe\comm;c:\rb5;c:\exe\ws;c:\cpsw\rfs;c:\backmstr;C:\GEMSYS;C:\GEMBOOT;C:\gem\bridge
set PROCOMM=c:\EXE\COMM\
set ARCTEMP=d:\
set CCHEAD=-v -vcsd -xcc:\cpsw\mwc\ -xtd:\ -xod:\


Please EMAIL any suggestions, if enough interest exists, I
will post the solutions offered.
Thanks
