Subject: Keeping MSDOS environments full-size

Keywords: MSDOS, environment, append
A recent query raised the problem of not being able to preserve big
environments for children. The rest of this file is a UUENCODED ARC of a
utility, ENV.COM, that I wrote for myself about 6 months ago.
ENV.COM is used
to add up to 100 dummy variables to fill any unused space in the
environment, so that the environment will be copied full-size when
an application is called,
to delete additional variables from the newly copied environment.
ENV.DOC illustrates the use of ENV.COM, and also illustrates how to
tackle the related problem that
PATH has its results recorded in the environment,
APPEND does not.
ENV.CMP is source of ENV.COM written as a DEBUG command file. It is
needed only if you wish to re-compile ENV.COM. To do so simply type
DEBUG < ENV.CMP
The ARC should show
Name Length Stowage SF Size now Date Time CRC
