PC-DOS 3.1 has an (unpublished) switch (/e) to use with the COMSPEC setting
in config.sys to tune the environment size.  An easier solution is to find
somebody with Microsoft C Ver 4.0 which also has a (very easy to use) utility
to adjust this parameter.  In addition, I wouldn't be surprised if other
Microsoft products have that program (called setenv) with them.
