	I am using MS Fortan 5.1 on a PC running DOS, and I've written 
	a program on a SPARC 1 which opens 20 or so files. It compiles
	and runs fine.  I then transfered it to a PC, it compiles fine
	but I  get a runtime  error of  too many files opened. I don't 
	remember the  exact error code. Does  anyone know  the maximum 
	number of files openable at one time under MS Fortran 5.1, and
	any tricks around. I really don't want to  open and close each 
	file every time,  especially since the data  stored in them is 
	sequentially  written. Any help  would be appreciated. Than...

	Hemanshu
