    Note that this SHELL command only works for DOS 3.2 and up.  This
    is because the "512" is interpreted as bytes for those versions of
    DOS.  For DOS 3.1, the "512" would be interpreted as number of
    16-byte paragraphs, yielding a number larger than DOS can handle.
    For DOS 3.1, I recommend using:

    SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:40

    This yields 640 bytes for environment.
