hey,

I have a fantastic program under foxplus, made in the eighties, BUT it
doesn't work anymore under windows XP, every time I run the pgrogram I get
"Error 2009: Not enough space for environment".

It's really anoying because I'm stuck to windows 98

I have already tried a few things:
- SHELL=%SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.com /P /E:512 at config.nt, then I tried
it with other numbers;
- making a batchfile:
@echo off PATH=C:\Foxbase; foxplus myprog, with "myprog" the name of my
program
- then I tried to put DOSMEM=512 in config.nt.
- I already tried to adjust the "compability" with right click and then the
tab "compability",...
but it didn't work

many thanks already
greetings
kristof

kristof,
Have you considered updating to VFP? Some DOS programs work better under XP/2003 using the TameDOS product. (http://www.tamedos.com)

Hi,
start your FoxBase app with shortcut and batchfile, in which you
delete all system variables you don't need. This way you can free
environment memory for you. The system variables will be deleted only
in your program session. Example of my batchfile I use to start old
Clipper program under Win2K:
@ECHO OFF
REM free environment space
set PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=
set PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=
set PROCESSOR_LEVEL=
set PROCESSOR_REVISION=
set ALLUSERSPROFILE=
set APPDATA=
set COMMONPROGRAMFILES=
set COMPUTERNAME=
set FILE_SERVER=
set HOMEDRIVE=
set HOMEPATH=
set LOGONSERVER=
set NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=

REM set my own variables
set PATH=..\std;c:\dos\bin
set STD=..\std
set CHB_ROK=%1
set CHB_DATA=%2
set DDF=ver_801.ddf
....

To see all availabel system variables you can delete use command: set
