RE: Win98 - Out of Environment Space

[Stevens, Brigham]

I run ant with M-X compile...

I tried to use the Customize Emacs menu to do it, "Explicit Shell
Filename" but that put emacs in a weird state, it wouldn't quit and
dumped a bunch of garbage to the mini-buffer! Anyways, so I backed out
those changes.

There is also an "Exlpicit cSh Args"... but that indicates only for csh,
not command.com.

I will give your suggestion a try, setting it in my .emacs like this:

(setq explicit-command.com-args "/e:4000")

unfortunately I have to wait until I get home tonight to try out my
INFERIOR POS shell.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I don't know, since you didn't say how do you invoke Ant or the shell.

One possible way is to define a variable called
explicit-command.com-args, and give it the value "/e:4000".  Then the
command "M-x shell" will pass that argument automatically to
COMMAND.COM.
