Subject: Problems opening > 20 files when using FOPEN
To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu


Please help...
I felt so lucky with djgpp...no problems all the way..smooth ride until now.
I cannot open more than 20 files at same time when using FOPEN.
Working with 486-dos6.2. To use djgpp compiler my app needs to open more than
20 files. i did what the book said:
-increased my config to files=60
-increased handles count in JFT (Job File Table) to 40 using INT21H, func 67H

If i do a low level open using OPEN command, i can open 34 (ex files open 
by systemm). BUT if i use FOPEN, i cannot open more than 15 files(streams)
and get an error msg " too many files open"
Would appreciate if someone could help me. I've tried everything
