Thanks very much to all the people who promptly replied to my plea for
help. My original question was:

The problem, as everyone point out, was that I was using the C
run-time library. The startup code for the library limits file opens
to 20, unless you modify the code.  This is documented in the startup
files and in the Microsoft manuals (so I was told).

I didn't attempt to check because I went straight ahead with the
second solution, which is directly using DosOpen().


And to think that I thought no one read the os2 groups...
