I found an error in the Allegro Faq on the homepage.

It was under both the DOS section and Windows section that I found
the error for this question:

I get an "out of environment space" error when I run fix.bat or
vcvars32.bat!

Well duh, you need to increase the size of your environment then :-)
You can do this by changing the settings for your DOS box (click
the system menu and select "properties"), or at startup in your
config.sys file
(eg. shell=c:\command.com /e:8192).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There is a parameter missing that should be added. As of now if a user puts 
this into their config.sys file they will get a "unable to create file" 
error. It should be: (eg. shell=c:\command.com /e:8192 /p).
