MSF5000 RSS memory requirement

[WA2DCI]

I picked up old PC for programming an MSF5000. It comes up with an error "- not enough space for environment" when I execute the RSS software.

Does anyone know the minimum memory required?

Thanks

That's not a memory problem per se.

The "environment" is a section of memory reserved for storing "environment variables", like the set of directories to look for executables in (the PATH variable). When a program is started, a fixed size buffer is allocated to store the environment, then the parent's environment is copied into that space. If there's not enough space, you get that error. (This was fixed in later versions of Microsoft operating systems, and was never a problem in operating systems designed by people who knew what they were doing.)
