The size of the environment space is rounded up to the next multiple of
16 so it is efficient to pick a number which is a multiple of 16.  However
when running in a DOS box under Win 3.1 the space assigned in `config.sys'
may be large but the programs will never get more than the default unless
in `system.ini' a line be added:

    CommandEnvSys=XXXX

where XXXX <= the amount allowed in `config.sys'

In any event, the file `djgpp.env' will provide all the space needed for
DJGPP programs.  There is no need for separate batch files.

Does Windows95 have a similar requirement?
