I still use :)
Sorry for replying late. I have a suggestion.
In Win98 (as well as other windows version, but only necessary for
Win98) - we can create a short-cut. Right click on this short-cut you
can configure the default environment memory, if not configured, is set
to 'auto' which I think has the environment memory limitation. The
default env. memory can be configured from 256 up to 4096 (but 512
should be sufficient).
With the proper env. memory set, we do not need to have a different
(shorter) script.
The short-cut creates a file with .PIF extension. We can pre-create the
default setting and distribute this file, but rename the file as .XIF or
something else none .PIF. As we already had a way to detect windows
version, all we need to do is to rename the file .XIF to .PIF when Win98
is detected.
However, there is some limitation..
1. If the rename script is built into modeler.bat, then the first time
modeler.bat is run, and Win98 is detected _and_ .XIF exists - it should
rename the .XIF to .PIF but terminates - with a message to restart
again. So subsequent run, when .PIF is found (and is Win98) it will run
as normal.
2. I think using this method, it will works only if modeler.bat is
started from Windows Exprorer, and not via command prompt. If started
via command prompt, the short-cut for command prompt itself should be
configured with the proper env. memory setting.
I hope the explanation is clear.
