You've probably resolved this by now, but IIRC, the max value for FILES=nnn in config.sys (that works) is a strange figure like 254. It may be documented as 255 or 256 somewhere, but I seem to recall finding that didn't quite work. I forget what happens, and how I tested, it's all a little foggy now, but I did find this for myself, it wasn't a "friend of a friend" :-) Good luck, --Neil. -- Neil Trotter, Canewdon, UK
