Sorry, I don't understand.  What I meant to say is that, since you
have the normal Windows 95 release (not 4.00.950B or some later
edition), the Windows version is not the cause of the problem.

It *should* work on Windows 95, unless you disabled the long file
names support.  Try setting LFN=y in the environement.

Since you are running Windows 95, the version of COMMAND.COM which
comes with Windows is C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM.  Please see if changing
the above directive to the following helps:

  SHELL=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM C:\WINDOWS /E:1024 /P

Try not to load these and see if that helps.

Also try not loading these.

I would also remove the HOME variable and see if that helps.

That's an *extremely* long PATH!  Could you please try making it
shorter than 127 characters and see whether that helps?

Try making this a Unix-style path name, like so:

    TMPDIR=c:/tmp
