Hi,

we have a problem with an application that needs more environment space in DOS.
This is normally done in the config.xx file with the command shell=%systemroot%\system32\command.com /e:512
where the number after /e: means the size in bytes.
In MS DOS the default environment size is 256 bytes, with a maximum possible size of 32 KB.
Is there a way to specify this in DOSBox?
