Why do I get "Out of Environment Space" when trying to set ENV variables?

Many source packages for the TINI board will come with small batch files to set all the environment variables and command line parameters you need to compile a Java servlet or program.

Often, users will get numerous "Out of Environment Space" errors. Windows 9X only allocates 256 bytes of space to the DOS environment. If you set too many variables in a batch file, this limit can be exceeded.

To change the space available, open the properties for the Shortcut you use to open a DOS window (or the batch file itself) and change the Initial Environment setting to something larger than 256 bytes (like 1K or 2K)

This should eliminate the Out of Envirnment Space errors
