Many thanks to those who answered, because now I can continue my work. On the other hand, Eli Zaretskii pointed out that in TC (like in many other DOS compilers), the file table is a constant array whose size is set when the library is compiled. To know if this is also true with the most recent Borland compilers, I have compiled my source with Borland C++ 4.52 to produce a MS-Windows application. I have been amazed by a similar limitation when opening about 36 files. Does anybody know if there is some way to bypass this limit in Windows applications compiled with BC 4.52? If the problem has the same cause that in TC 2.0, why BC users do not demand it? Is it a so strange problem opening more than 40 files? Thanks, XP
