Re: "Out of environment space" error



Good to know it.  I assume it could be specific to your NT env.
I am also using NT 4.0 with SP4 on 2 machines.  Both has Cygwin B20.1
installed.  I never had *out of env* problems on my NT 4 with SP 4.
Though, as a thumb rule, I always use a pagefile on all the disks and my
pagefiles
on NT are always twice the size of my physical RAM.  According to my
experience, and also some documents
at microsoft web pages, it improves the performance of NT.

Regards
Suhaib
