Matt,

I'm trying to get IFEFFIT to work on a Windows 98 machine and I'm trying to figure out what my options are. (Currently the three machines I use at Northwestern, home, and Argonne are all Win 98.)

I've installed IFEFFIT, and did some original changes to correct the "Out of environment space" problem, now I have a: "Too many parameters Too many parameters - Files\Ifeffit Bad command or file name " problem.

I'm looking for suggestions.

Just to be sure, I believe the 'Out of environent space problem' on Windows98 can be solved by putting SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /P in the config.sys file. Is that right? I thought the 'Too many parameters - Files\Ifeffit Bad command or file name' message was somehow related to that, but maybe not. If not, it may be due to a mistake in the files C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\xxxx.bat (xxx = athena, artemis, ifeffit, sixpack,....) which all have this line: @echo off SET IFEFFIT_DIR=C:\Program Files\Ifeffit Could the space in the file name be a problem for Windows98 but not Win2000??? If so, maybe adding quotes will do it: SET IFEFFIT_DIR='C:\Program Files\Ifeffit' To be honest, I'm not sure, but it's probably something simple like that. Anyone else know how to do this or have ifeffit/athena working on Windows 98? Thanks, --Matt
