The first is the ability to display all of the current environment strings and data about the environment such as the location, size and space availability of the Master environment. The second function is to let a batch file know how much environ- ment space is currently available and to provide a graceful exit if there is not enough. The routine may also show that, under certain circumstances, the size of the master environment can be expanded with no change being made to the CONFIG.SYS file. Major Features * Data display option showing each of the current environment strings along with its length. Summary data on the Master environment size, current envi- ronment size and available environment space is also shown. * Single line summary display option of the available environment space as reported by ERRORLEVEL. * Sets the ERRORLEVEL variable to the available environment space for use in testing within batch files. * Option to calculate the available environment space with or without possible free memory located above the master environment. * Option to compare and test the available environment space with a requested amount of needed environment memory. * May be run from the DOS prompt to display data or from a batch file to test available environment space. * Written in assembler for fast operation and small size. System Requirements ENVI_MAN will run on an IBM PC, XT, AT or true compatibles. It has been tested with PC-DOS/MS-DOS operating systems, version 3.0 through version 5.0. Manual Format This manual is divided into several introductory chapters followed by a chapter for each ENVI_MAN function menu. The format of these chapters, and the informa- tion presented therein, has been standardized using the following conventions. Page layout - Each page has a header detailing the chapter and the program ver- sion covered. A footer displays the manual page number. Brackets and parentheses - Brackets, [...], are used in the manual and in the help screens to specify what should be entered in response to the current prompt. If a character string is to be entered, the type of character is noted, such as ALPHA, NUMERIC, ANY, etc. Parentheses, (..), are used for comments. Computer key conventions - Keys specified in the manual text that are not in entry brackets are shown as reversed text, such as ESCAPE . All key references are in capital letters for clarity. Action steps - Some procedures may require selection from a menu of options, inputting data, or following a sequence of operations. Most manual sections will first give an overview of the function or task under discussion and then detail 1 INTRODUCTION ENVI_MAN Version 1.1 the various action operating procedures. In order to make this manual easier to use, a symbol, -> , marks the beginning of each of these action operating proce- dures. ■■■■_MAN programs - The general group of shareware programs by MicroMetric is referred to by the name ■■■■_MAN. It may also be used in reference to a specific program in that group. Shareware distributed documentation manual - The documentation file included on the shareware distribution diskette contains the same information as the printed and bound manual, supplied as part of registration, with two exceptions, the result of the word processor, formatting, and printer used. The first is that all of the control display characters (ASCII 1-31) and the reverse print key- board codes are NOT shown properly. Finally, bolding, underlining, and special symbols are NOT present. Shareware ENVI_MAN is being distributed as SHAREWARE. The SHAREWARE concept allows users to examine a program on a trial basis, at no (or minimal) charge, before pur- chasing it. In addition, by decreasing marketing costs, professional quality software may be distributed for a fraction of the cost of a comparable commer- cial product. Regardless of whether you register the program, please help dis- tribute ENVI_MAN by sharing unmodified copies of it and its files with others. You are hereby granted the right to use the ENVI_MAN program for a thirty (30) day evaluation period. If you find ENVI_MAN of value, and continue to use it after this evaluation period, YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR PROGRAM USE. This will provide you with: * A 7" x 8 1/2" printed and bound manual. * ENVI_MAN phone or mail support for one year. * Notification of the next ENVI_MAN release. * Ability to suppress the shareware registration reminder message displayed at the end of the program. * An installation/update/registration brand program. * Sincere thanks for your support of the SHAREWARE concept. A Single System Program Registration entitles the user to unlimited use of the ENVI_MAN program on a single computer. A Site License Program Registration entitles the user to unlimited use of the ENVI_MAN program on all computers, including networks, at a single corporate location. 2 ENVI_MAN Version 1.1 INTRODUCTION Program Registration, Single System . . . $20.

The program, and its files, is normally sup- plied as a self extracting file whose name is "EMANvvv.EXE" (vvv is the version, such as "EMAN100"). This file should first be copied to a directory on your hard disk. This direc- tory may be a new one, such as one named "ENVI", and created specifically for ENVI_MAN, or a current one, such as "UTILITY", that has other programs/files. For information on creating a separate directory, see your DOS manual. NOTE FOR BEST OPERATION, ALL REQUIRED ENVI_MAN FILES *SHOULD* BE PLACED ON PATH REFERENCED SUBDIRECTORIES! Once the file is copied to the desired hard disk directory, at the DOS prompt change to this drive directory, and then type the EXE file name (such as "EMAN100") and press ENTER . This will unpack all of the ENVI_MAN files. From a BBS If the ENVI_MAN file was downloaded from a Bulletin Board, it should first be copied to a directory as defined above, and then unpacked, using whatever pro- gram is specified by the Bulletin Board. It is normally distributed with a name of "EMANvvv.ZIP" (vvv is the version) or "EMAN10.ZIP". Registered Version Registered users should use the program "INSTALL", that is supplied upon regis- tration. This program will create a registration file which will, in turn, sup- press the shareware registration reminders. If the system is already installed, and only "BRANDING" the system with the registration information is desired, you can run the program "ENVI_MAN", and when exiting, select the "BRAND" option by pressing F4 . -> To install ENVI_MAN on your hard disk, or to upgrade to a new release, follow the steps detailed below: 1. Place the ENVI_MAN distribution diskette in your floppy diskette drive. 2. At the DOS prompt, change to the drive in which the distribution diskette is located. For example, if the diskette was placed in drive A, type A : and press ENTER . 3. Type I N S T A L L and press ENTER . The installation program will then be loaded, and its display should be as shown below. 5 INSTALLING THE SYSTEM ENVI_MAN Version 1.1 ╒═╡ INSTallation MANagement Program ╞══════════╡ Started at═>12-31-99 08:00 ╞═╕ │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ │░ ░░▄ ░░▄ ░░▄░░░░░░░░▄░░░░░░░░▄ ░░▄ ░░▄ ░░▄ ░░▄ ░░▄░│ │░ Ç ░░█ ░░░▄ ░░█░░█▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀░░█▀▀▀ ░░░▄ ░░░█ ░░░░▄ ░░░▄ ░░█░│ │░ ┌┼┐ ░░█ ░░█░░▄░░█░░░░░░░░▄ ░░█ ░░░█ ░░░█ ░░█▀░░▄ ░░█░░▄░░█░│ │░ ┌┴┐ ░░█ ░░█ ▀░░░█ ▀▀▀▀▀░░█ ░░█ ░░█░░▄░░█ ░░░░░░█ ░░█ ▀░░░█░│ │░═┴═┴═░░█ ░░█ ░░█░░░░░░░░█ ░░█ ░░░░░░▄ ░░█░░█░░█░░█▀▀▀░░▄░░█ ░░█░│ │░ ▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀░│ ╘╡ INST_MAN Version 4.20 Copyright 1990-94 MicroMetric, All Rights Reserved ╞╛ F1>Help│ESC>Exit│<┘/[char]>Select│ HomeEnd│ NOTE Context sensitive help is available from this point on in the in- stallation program on, by pressing the F1 key. 4.

To aid in its operation, an icon file, "ENVI_MAN.ICO", and a program information file, "ENVI_MAN.PIF", have been included. These should be installed into a Windows program group. See your Microsoft Windows manual for specific installation details. 10 RUNNING ENVI_MAN The syntax to execute the ENVI_MAN utility program is: ENVI_MAN [requested environment memory] [option a] [option ...] The command line options provide information to ENVI_MAN that will override the default options that are in effect at the beginning of the program. A space MUST be present after the program name and any command line parameters. Spaces between options and requested environment memory are optional. Requested Environment Memory nnnnn (0-32767) If a numeric value is placed as the first value on the command line, it will be treated as a request to test for the availability of a corresponding number of bytes of environment space. This number will then be used in the calculation of the ERRORLEVEL variable using the rules detailed in the section "Available Environment Space ERRORLEVEL Calcula- tion". Options none If no options or requested environment memory are specified ENVI_MAN will display the program syntax. + Calculate the Available Environment Space using the Master Environment Size and any currently free memory available immediately above the Master Environment. Set the DOS ERRORLEVEL variable equal to the value calculated using the rules detailed in the section "Available Environment Space ERRORLEVEL Calculation". This is the default. - Calculate the Available Environment Space using only the Master Environ- ment Size. Set the DOS ERRORLEVEL variable equal to the value calculated using the rules detailed in the section "Available Environment Space ERRORLEVEL Calculation". s Display a single summary line specifying the Available Environment Size and the value to which ERRORLEVEL is set. This display does not cause a pause nor is any user action required. d Displays each of the current environment strings along with its length. Additionally data is displayed about the master environment size, free memory above the master environment, current environment size, available environment space and the value of ERRORLEVEL. x Suppress the error message display on Insufficient Environment Space re- maining. Shareware message A shareware message may be randomly displayed at the end of ENVI_MAN. Pressing any key will exit the program. 11 RUNNING ENVI_MAN ENVI_MAN Version 1.1 The use of the "X" option to suppress display of the Insufficient Environment Space Remaining will not affect the shareware message display. By registering you use of ENVI_MAN, you will be able to use the registration serial number to suppress the shareware message display. 12 MASTER AND PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTS Master Environment When the computer is first booted, a Master Environment is established. Its default size is 160 bytes for DOS versions 3.x and 4.x and 256 bytes for version 5.0. This size may be changed, in sixteen byte increments up to a maximum size of 32,767, by use of the SHELL and COMMAND statements in the CONFIG.SYS file. Details of these commands may be found in the DOS manual. For any changes to the CONFIG.SYS file to become effective, the system must be re-booted after the changes are made. The contents of the Master Environment are environment strings, each in the following format: NAME = STRING[ASCII 0] As can be seen from the format, the minimum environment string length is four bytes. An example environment string is - PATH=C:\ The length of the above example is nine bytes. The Master Environment strings may be created or changed by use of the DOS com- mands such as PROMPT, PATH and SET. An example would be- SET GOOD=EMPIRE SET BAD=KLINGONS PROMPT=$P$G Program Environment When a program is executed, the loader (which is called by COMMAND.COM and is DOS Int 21h - EXEC), establishes a copy of the environment for use by the pro- gram. It first copies all of the environment strings from the Master Environ- ment(or, if this is a child process, from the parent's environment). These envi- ronment strings are then terminated by a three character sequence of: [ASCII 0][ASCII 1][ASCII 0] The environment strings are followed by the complete path of the loaded program using the format: D:\[subdirectory path\]NNNNNNNN.EEE[ASCII 0] where: D:\ disk drive from which the program is being loaded, subdirectory path\ path of the program being loaded, NNNNNNNN name of the program, .EEE extension of the program. The program environment is then sized up to a paragraph boundary so that its 13 MASTER AND PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTS ENVI_MAN Version 1.1 size in bytes is always a multiple of sixteen. Master Environment Expansion One interesting fact is that the size of the Master Environment may, under cer- tain circumstances, exceed its default size or the size defined in CONFIG.SYS. The Master environment is preceded by a 16 byte Memory Control Block (MCB) which give the memory block size and the address of its owner. If the address is zero, the memory block is free. In some cases while booting, Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs are loaded. Their program environment is allocated before the program is loaded. Some TSR's will release their environment memory allocation before returning control to the command processor. If the size of the environment does not grow, these free memory holes can be used to load the environment for later TSR's or other programs. However, if the size of the environment does increase, there may be few uses for these free memory areas and they may remain unused. In the situation just described, memory allocation in the area of the Master Environment might look as detailed below. ENV_SIZE is the default or defined value for the Master Environment. Memory Control Block 1 (=16 bytes) {OWNER=COMMAND.COM} {MEMORY_SIZE=ENV_SIZE} Master Environment (=ENV_SIZE bytes) Memory Control Block 2 (=16 bytes) {OWNER=FREE} {MEMORY_SIZE=X} Free Memory (=X bytes (a multiple of 16)) Memory Control Block 3 (=16 bytes) {OWNER=SOMEONE} {MEMORY_SIZE=Z} Note that MCB 2 and its associated memory block are free. Now for the fun part! If a request is made to COMMAND.COM to increase the size of the environment, such as with a SET statement and the size of the new environment would then exceed that as defined by ENV_SIZE, it WILL NOT display "Out of environment space". Rather, it will obtain the needed memory from MCB 2 and its associated block. Lets assume that there was a Master Environment (ENV_SIZE) of 160 bytes, the current length of the environment strings was 155 bytes and the SET command will add 10 bytes to the size of the environment strings. COMMAND.COM will: 1. Increase the size of the memory block specified in MCB 1 by 16 bytes. 14 ENVI_MAN Version 1.1 MASTER AND PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTS 2. This increases the size of the Master Environment by 16 bytes. 3. Relocate MCB 2 16 bytes higher and decrease the size of its memory block by 16 bytes. 4. This decreases the size of the free memory block associated with MCB 2 by 16 bytes. This area of memory will now look like: Memory Control Block 1 (=16 bytes) {OWNER=COMMAND.COM} {MEMORY_SIZE=ENV_SIZE+16} Master Environment (=ENV_SIZE+16 bytes) Memory Control Block 2 (=16 bytes) {OWNER=FREE} {MEMORY_SIZE=X-16} Free Memory (=X-16 bytes (a multiple of 16)) Memory Control Block 3 (=16 bytes) {OWNER=SOMEONE} {MEMORY_SIZE=Z} This procedure can continue - Master Environment increasing by 16 bytes and Free Memory and its MCB 2 decreasing by 16 bytes - until both the Free Memory AND MCB 2 have been incorporated into the Master Environment! Note that MCB 3 is not involved, since, if MCB 3 pointed to a free memory block, it would normally be incorporated into MCB 2. However, if MCB 3 did point to free memory, it could eventually be used by the Master Environment after all of MCB 2 and its free memory was used. 15 MASTER AND PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTS ENVI_MAN Version 1.1 16 ENVI_MAN OPERATION Program Syntax A program syntax message is displayed if: * No command line parameters are specified.

The Master Environment size may be changed, in sixteen byte increments up to a maximum size of 32,767, by use of the SHELL and COMMAND statements in the CONF- IG.SYS file. Details of these commands may be found in the DOS manual. For any changes to the CONFIG.SYS file to become effective, the system must be re-booted after the changes are made. If sufficient environment space was not available, this message WOULD BE dis- played with the syntax - ENVI_MAN 2000 and WOULD NOT BE displayed with the syntax - ENVI_MAN 2000X Available Environment Space ERRORLEVEL calculation The ERRORLEVEL variable is used to denote the amount of Available Environment Space and is calculated as follows: ERRORLEVEL = Master Environment Size - Environment Strings Size + Free Memory Above Master Environment (optional) - Requested Environment Memory (optional) If ERRORLEVEL is negative (there is not enough Available Environment Space), it is set equal to zero to denote an error condition. If ERRORLEVEL, as calculated, is equal to zero (there is exactly enough current Available Environment Space), it is set equal to one to denote a non-error condition. If ERRORLEVEL is greater than 254, it is set equal to 255. 20 ENVI_MAN Version 1.1 ENVI_MAN OPERATION A summary of the various ERRORLEVEL values and their relationship to the Avail- able Environment Space is shown below.
