Everyone seems to think that calling DOS function 0x67 will increase
the number of available files.  IT WON'T.  Why?  Because some versions
of Turbo C have a fixed length array (20) of information about the
files, and if you open too many, you crash.  Replacing this method is
on my list of things to do, but it's a major rewrite to transfer the
Turbo functionality into libc.a.
