"Out of environment space" MS-DOS error
What gives?
I'm in a Dos shell and some environment variables are set. I try to add to the PATH variable and I get "Out of environment space" when the PATH is kind of long. If I set only this new PATH that I was trying to append, it works without any error. I just recently began running into this problem because I used to set (add to) the PATH in this way before successfully.
Sure I've been freely installing more software to the hard drive, but I have 80MB of RAM and would love to have Windows actually use it! I've had the 80MB for years.
If I set some of the existing environment variables to an empty string "set aVar=", then I can add more environment variables before I get the dreaded "Out of environment space" error.
At work I've seen a **** load of environment variables set, so I suppose I need to tell Windows to actually use the memory that it knows I have (by the "mem" command and at bootup).
Please advise.

Actually, let's see if this works http://support.microsoft.com/support...SRCH&SPR=MSDOS
