SYMPTOMS
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.
