Another way to fix the environment space problem without having to play with
the config.sys file is to right mouse click on the cygnus.bat file or the
shortcut in the windows/start-menu directory and select properties.  In the
memory tab there is a drop down box for environment space settings.  Change it
from AUTO to 4096KB.
