When you set an environment variable in the Autoexec.bat file and then use
it to run a program, MemMaker converts the environment variable to its true
name.
For example, if your Autoexec.bat file contains these lines before you
run MemMaker:
set xdrive=d
%xdrive%:\dos\doskey
they are converted to:
set xdrive=d
lh /l:xxxx d:\dos\doskey
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, either do not set environment variables
to drive letters or directories, or modify your Config.sys and
Autoexec.bat files after you run MemMaker.
