That means that there is no > 20 open file limit, AFAICT. Maybe this is just in recent snapshots. It's an NT vs 95/98 issue. The limit is 20 on Win95/98; there's no limit on NT/2K (or if there is, it's very high, well over 1000). I don't know if there's any way to change the limit on 95/98 (I have a vague recollection of there being something you can put in AUTOEXEC.BAT to change the limit, but I can't remember the details). -- Ross Smith The Internet Group, Auckland, New Zealand ======================================================================== "So that's 2 T-1s and a newsfeed ... would you like clues with that?" -- Peter Da Silva -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
