Can someone tell me how to change the number of files that can 
be open simutaaneously?
My system is runing MSDOS 4.1 and I am using Turbo C 2.0.
I have a program that needs to open more than 20 files. I
have tried to
(1) in config.sys, change FILES=35
(2) in Turbo C 2.0 include/stdio.h, change
    #define OPEN_MAX  35
    #define SYS_OPEN 355
(3) in Turbo C 2.0 include/dos.h, change
    #define NFDS 35
It doesn't help.  I still failed in openning 21st file.  I suspect
it is in the libc.  But I don't know how to check and modify it.

If you do know, please tell me.  I will appreciate very much.
Thanks in advance.
