SYMPTOMS
========
MemMaker does not preserve redirection syntax and trailing spaces in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For example, if you have C:\DOS\DOSKEY >NUL in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, MemMaker changes it to LH /L:x,nnnn C:\DOS\DOSKEY. If you
have "set prompt=[$p] " (without the quotation marks) in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file,
MemMaker removes the trailing space and changes it to "set prompt=[$p]".
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and put the >NUL
statement and/or trailing spaces back in after you run MemMaker.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS versions 6.0, 6.2, and
6.21. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
