Win98 cygwin-b20 runtime problem


I've installed and run cygwin-b20 on NT with no problems.  Now I want to
install and run it on Win98.  Installation went fine using the install
wizard just like on NT. Trying to run cygwin from the
Start->Programs->Cygnus->Cygnus-b20 menu gave a DOS window with the
error "Out of resources".  By removing some paths from the PATH variable
in the cygwin.bat startup file, Start->Programs->Cygnus->Cygnus-b20
produced a DOS window with the bash shell running.  As a test I wrote a
"Hello world" C program and tried to compile it using "gcc hello.c".  It
couldn't find certain dll's, I assume because the PATH variable was
modified.  Restoring the PATH variable in cygwin.bat causes the "Out of
resources" error again.

I assume I need to tell Win98 to reserve more memory for environment
variables, perhaps just for DOS programs.  Is this true?  How do I do
this?
