Run-time error fix - not enough space for environment

I've used dBase 5 for DOS, dates back to about 1995 for hybrid 16/32 bit Windows/DOS environments. But then we had server security patches added and our COM DLL's couldn't call the dbase EXE files any more.

Code:
SERVER:       dbase EXE did not run

WORKSTATION:  dbase EXE did not run, message was
   run-time error R6009
   - not enough space for environment

Eventually we traced the issue to the PATH length in the system start up files. PATH too long and dBase crashes as above.

For the server we updated CONFIG.NT and for the workstations we updated AUTOEXEC.NT

I never got a reply to thread290-873347 about how to run it in Windows 64-bit versions, apparently our option is to use VM.
