HXC6@psuv>Hi.  I want to open a bunch of files simultaneously in my fortran
HXC6@psuv>(Watcom F77/386) program.  Here are questions:
HXC6@psuv>(1)  What is the default number of files handles?
HXC6@psuv>(2)  How to set the number of file handles?  (Is there something
HXC6@psuv>     similar to FILES=xx [in config.sys for dos] for OS/2?)  Or,
HXC6@psuv>     do I misunderstand something?
HXC6@psuv>Thanks.

(1) No idea at all. Never bumped into it.

(2) You can do it dynamically. Look at the DosSetMaxFH() function. The
    FILES=n statement in your OS/2 config.sys file is for DOS apps.

Andrew.
