You must look for the "set"-vars.

The system define many of them for default - any of them need memory. You can use a special batch-file to "unset" most of the vars. This file you must "call" at first of the program execution.

Sample batch file "set_env.bat":

--------------------------------

@echo off

set ALLUSERSPROFILE=

set APPDATA=

set CLASSPATH=

rem set CLIENTNAME=

set CommonProgramFiles=

set Computername=

set FP_NO_HOST_CHECK=

set HomeDrive=

set HOMEPATH=

set HOMESHARE

set LOGONSERVER=

set NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=

set os=

set PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=

set PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=

set PROCESSOR_LEVEL=

set PROCESSOR_REVISION=

set ProgramFiles=

set QTJAVA=

set SESSIONNAME=

set temp=

set tmp=

set USERDOMAIN=

set USERGROUP=

set USERNAME=

set USERPROFILE=

set windir=

set Path=C:\windows;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows\system32\wbem



if "%1"=="quit" goto End

dbase4.exe %1

:End

--------------------------------



The second step is to call the set_env-file as first - look the next sample:

--------------------------------

C:

cd C:\Prog16\turnus\prg

call set_env.bat turnus.prg
