Subject: DOS 3.1 and Older Cannot Increase Environment
Date: January 22, 1991

PROBLEM: Customer had problems mapping drives and needed to increase
his environment. In PC DOS 3.1 and below there is not a
shell environment parameter.
SOLUTION: PC DOS 3.2 and above does give you the option to increase
the environment in bytes in the range of 160 to 32768. (The
default is 160 bytes.) To increase the environment you need
to put in the CONFIG.SYS "Shell = COMMAND.COM /p /e:xxxx"
xxxx = byte size. An example CONFIG.SYS file:
files =50
buffers=45
Device=ANSI.SYS
Shell=COMMAND.COM /P /E:1024
(X) This information was verified in the lab.
