Has anyone had any success increasing the number of filehandles for an
OS/2 protectmode process?  I have tried using the DosSetMaxFH API call
to set the number of file handles to various numbers between 50 and
255, but I never seem to have more than 20. DosSetMaxFH does not
return any errors.

I'm probably overlooking something really easy, so any help is much appreciated.

if you are using the c-runtime for opening files, you also have to increase
the number of handles the c-runtime can handle as well as the FILEBUF table for
the buffered io calls (fwrite, fopen, etc.).  this is documented in the c
startup code in crt*.asm fairly close to _astart.  also need to check _file.c.
