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. Benoit Papillault - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
