Never hurts to try to use COMMAND.COM instead. Myself I'd be using
bash from the start (but then I suppose CMD.* or COMMAND.COM must be
started to start bash).

: NOFILES in the config.site? I have tried both without success (FILES=75;
: NOFILES=75). Or is there something else I still need to do?

I've never heard of NOFILES, but perhaps that's an NT thing?

: Is there a FAQ or reference about this?

clio.rice.edu is place for this. 

Just wait and see if the NT hackers (Charles, Andrew, ...) can say
something.
