We are currently porting a database system to Windows 95 and have been using the cygnus development with much success. On problem that we have come across is that there seems to be a limit to the number of files that can be open at one time. Since this is a database, we need to have many files open while the program is running. I wrote a quick little program to see how many files I could have open at one time and it came out to be 64. I'm assuming that there must be a way to allow a process to open more, but I haven't been able to find a solution. I'm not sure if this is an issue with Windows, or even maybe with the cygnus code. If anyone has a soultion, or ideas, it would be a great help to our project. Thanks. - Mike McGann - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
