I am having an issue with a period correct 1992 machine that I've built (which is why I am using 5.0 and not 6.22). Not so much an issue but a DOS 5.0 limitation that I am trying to work around. Not sure if there is a way that I am not aware of but I am wanting to run the MEM command with the /C/P so I can see it page by page. I cant get all the info to show on my screen at once. It will not let me attach the /p because it says there are too many variables. Any utilities or workarounds for this that anyone is aware of?

Keep in mind that this forum is for DOS games on modern systems. For questions involving older hardware with real DOS you should ask in Marvin.

"|more" pipe won' t work if you do not have more.com file somewhere in your %PATH% variable.
Another idea is to use:
mem /c >file
It will save your results to a file.

The more command has actually been working for me great with just a default install of Dos 5. Have only made a few memory adjustments in the config and autoexec files so far otherwise.
