Running packages on server from XTreeGold/Windows
#6124

I have most of our packages now installed on the server, using batch
files to map drives etc, eg:-

@echo off
cls
echo Loading up multi-user dBase4, this may take a little time ...
map root w:=sys:apps/dbases/dbase4 >nul
set oldpath=%path%
path=w:\;%path%
w:\dbase %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
path=%oldpath%
set oldpath=
map del w: >nul

The problem is that although this is great if the package is running
under DOS, they don't work properly running under child processes, eg
XTreeGold and Windows DOS boxes, I get an Out of Environment Space 
message. The environment space if easily large enough, and works normally.
I presume that XTGold and Windows truncate the environment space to only
what is used. Is there any way round this?

Thanks,

Leslie Styles
