Another method for Win95 is to place the following in your "config.sys"
file:
SHELL=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM C:\WINDOWS /P /E:2048
                                           ^^^^^^^
                                           Your Value Here.
              
This option indicates that any MS-DOS shell (from within Win95) will
use 2048 bytes for the environment. You can run "help command" from
a Win95 DOS window for the particulars about the command interpreter
"COMMAND.COM."

NOTE: I had to increase the environment space above 1024 to set all of
      my existing and the new "GNAT for Win95" environment variables.
 
I have since transitioned with success to the approach described
by Tom Griest.
