Hi,

I have an old application developed by me stored on my closet and
now i will give it to a friend, the problem is that i need to recompile
it, i have Windows XP and when i try to run a simple program it exists
with this message:

D:\CLIPPER\APP>sample
DOS/16M Protected Mode Run-Time Version 6.01
Copyright (C) Tenberry Software Inc. 1987 - 1994

run-time error R6009
- not enough space for environment

D:\CLIPPER\APP>

I alredy searched the internet without finding any fix for this,
please if you know how to fix this let me know :)

Regards,
Edgar Zavala.

Hi,

I must say .... never understimate the power of google...
i found a fix using google... a post by Frank (Thanks) in Aug 2003 =)

It works but i still need to know if there is any parameter or option
to fix this (because is related to an environment limit on c-runtime or
something like that).

Regards,
Edgar Zavala.

Try this from a DOS prompt:
set >fixenv.bat
to create a batch file

Then edit the fixenv.bat file to clear all the set parameters not needed.
For example;
Change: PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 6, GenuineIntel
To: SET PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=

You can clear most of them to free up environment space

Then run: FIXBAT from the DOS prompt
And you should be able to call your EXE.
