Do any dos internals gurus know if this technique will work. We are trying to do some modifications to our file server code and would like to do away with one piece of code. Multiple people opening the same file only result in one open of the file by the server. This is done to allow lots of files open on the server. Other wise if you had 30 people opening 10 files each that would be 300 open files (more than DOS can handle). Instead if they are opening the same data base file we only have 10 open. I would like to go with the unique file opens but does anyone know if once I fill up the first table is there anything stopping me from swapping my own table in and then swapping back and forth between 2 or 3 or + tables depending on what IO I am doing?
