This problem is not Windows 98 specific, it already occurs with games
under DOS, you know. It comes from the shell which has allocated a fixed
amount of memory to store environment variables. To increase this space,
you can add a line add the end of your AUTOEXEC.BAT like the following:

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

Under Windows NT, you have to modify that under the "Control Panel". 1024
is the number of bytes allocated to your environment space.

Hope this help.
