Known problems and available fixes (if present ;-)
Out of environmental space
When calling the batch file RUNLYX.BAT you get the above error message. Make
sure you have enough environment space configured on your system in
C:\CONFIG.SYS. I recommend 1536 Bytes, so you need a line
shell=C:\command.com C:\ /e:1536 /p
in your C:\CONFIG.SYS, assuming that COMMAND.COM resides in C:\ on your
system! If COMMAND.COM is not present in C:\ on your system it is usually
present in the main Windows directory, i.e. C:\WINDOWS by default. Then you
have to set
shell=C:\WINDOWS\command.com C:\WINDOWS /e:1536 /p
in your C:\CONFIG.SYS.
I hope this helps,
