I have (I think) managed to re-compile the source provided to allow more handles (_NFILE_ in CRT0DAT.ASM) but the program still collapses at 15 (20 less 5 for DOS itself) open files. Any helpful ideas would be greatly appreciated.<br /> <br /> Thanks,<br /> <br /> Nick<br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/MS-DOS/156269/156269/dos-file-handles-and-microsoft-visual-c++-v15/ Tue, 26 Nov 2002 09:13:48 -0700 MS-DOS Re: DOS file handles and Microsoft Visual c++ v1.5 http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/MS-DOS/156269/156986/re-dos-file-handles-and-microsoft-visual-c++-v15/#156986 : The runtime library for Visual c++ v1.5 limits the number of file handles in a DOS application compiled with it to 20.

It's been quite a few years since I've used MS-DOS, and I don't remember which files are used during bootup. autoexec.bat is one, but there is another -- system.ini or something like that located in the root directory??? Anyway, the startup code of the program checks the system to see how many files handles are available.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/MS-DOS/156269/156986/re-dos-file-handles-and-microsoft-visual-c++-v15/#156986 Fri, 29 Nov 2002 10:31:41 -0700 MS-DOS
