This page needs some major reorganization and standards compliance. By ''standards compliance'', I mean that we need to come up with a standards document as a formatting and style guide to bring some uniformity to the content. Of all the CSDP pages, I find this one the most poorly organized and least standard.


Examples of formatting guidelines would be:
* Use of uppercase for all variables
* Not using SET= in variable names
* Proper indenting for usage in CONFIG.SYS
* Layout of parameters sections
* Devising some consistent means of identifying whether a given variable is system or program specific, and whether it is settable per-session or must be in the master environment
This is not an exhaustive list, but something of a start.

Organization Needed

This page needs some major reorganization and standards compliance. By standards compliance, I mean that we need to come up with a standards document as a formatting and style guide to bring some uniformity to the content. Of all the CSDP pages, I find this one the most poorly organized and least standard.

Examples of formatting guidelines would be:

  • Use of uppercase for all variables
  • Not using SET= in variable names
  • Proper indenting for usage in CONFIG.SYS
  • Layout of parameters sections
  • Devising some consistent means of identifying whether a given variable is system or program specific, and whether it is settable per-session or must be in the master environment

This is not an exhaustive list, but something of a start.
