There is ANOTHER constant (OPEN_MAX) in COREFILE.A, which needs to be
changed in parallel. Both these values must be (number of actual files
required+5), to allow for the 5 default devices. COREFILE.A should
then be reassembled in order to build a number of buffers of the
required size in uninitialized data space. 

You must then also change MaxOpenFiles in FIO.DEF to (number of files
required), and recompile FIO.MOD.
