Any help would be greatly >appreciated. You may have to reassemble the startup code. See the file /msc/source/startup/os2/crt0data.asm that comes with the MSC distribution. It includes commented-out code to increase DosSetMaxFH, which you are supposed to enable of you need more than 20. Alternatively, you might try just adding the call to DosSetMaxFH to your program before you actually open any files. I don't see why this wouldn't work.
