When testing on Windows 98 SE I found that it seemed to max out of filehandles
at about ~200. Presumably DOS is the limiting factor in the number of
filehandles? If we had SuperDuperDOS that supported > 256 filehandles, then
we'd hit the limit. Does an operating system supporting this many filehandles
exist (FreeDOS?)?

I'll commit the patch next weekend, if there's no further comment.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
