have version 9.0. since I reconfiguired my C drive I keep getting out of enviorment space in the set lispheap and lispstack. both are set a at 100000. booting up from drive A with 3.1 dos then shifting to drive c: and calling the acad bat file does not give me this error. The only differance between C: & A: boots are the config file which does not exist on my dos disk. Tried setting the enviorment up to maximum using the shell command in the config system but to no avail. All of the local experts here are baffled.

Warner — Try putting this line at the top of the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of Drive C: .. shell=c:\command.com c:\ /e:512 /p .. — Brad ..

Warner, maybe it was a typo but your message said that both your LISPHEAP and LISPSTACK were set at 100000. This won't affect your out-of-environment message, but LISPHEAP and LISPSTACK together should not exceed 45000. Try something like SET LISPHEAP=39000 and SET LISPSTACK=5000. Brad has a good suggestion for the environment space problem, but also, is there anything in your environment that you can do without? Such as unneeded paths or sets or device='s? Merely cutting out some unneeded stuff will also make the dreaded "out of environment space" message go away. =SM=
