Par2: DOS files in XP
2002-04-11 -- David Beggs
 
Unsure if this works in XP but it does in everything up to 2k ...
if you put perVMFiles=xx in the[386enh] section of the win.ini file, you get
that many files "per session".  ie you can run your program in many
instances.  The config file over-rides it though.  If there is a config.nt
where files=40 you are in trouble.

> Under Win 98 or NT, I had the user set config.sys or config.nt to a large
> 'FILES=' number to bypass the 'too many files open' error message.

> Besides this, is there any other changes for a DOS program relating to Win
> XP?
