I know this has been harped on a million times before but...

I have pretty good code that handles setting the DOS environment but
I noticed it doesn't work when the program is run in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
in DOS 5.0, but it does work with 4DOS.

The code scanes down the memory allocation chain to find the block
owned by command.com.

Could some one send me code that also works in the AUTOEXEC.BAT?
THANKS!!!!!
