COMMAND: ALTER DOCUMENTATION : Off-line
FUNCTION: Changes the size of the DOS environment.
FORMAT: ALTER [-size][title]
TYPE: User supported software (Goldensoft Software,9460 W. Peoria Suite D,
Peoria, AZ 85345)
REMARKS: -size is the new size of the environment in 16 byte paragraphs.
The default and minimum value are 10 and -size cannot be between
45 and 69. Suggested values are 20, 30, or 40.
title is a 29 character string that replaces the first line of the
message from COMMAND.COM.
ALTER.COM and COMMAND.COM must be in the same sub-directory before
ALTER is executed. The DOS command processor is altered so as to
change the size of the environment that is initially set to 127
bytes and is controlled by the SET command. Once COMMAND.COM is
altered by ALTER.COM, SET with no arguements will indicate the
current size of the environment in the parameter string ESIZE=size.
The altered command processor is not installed until the system is
re-booted. See SET.
