 ^^^^^^^^  Here is the problem. Windows has barely enough file handles to
keep it's own files open, let alone those of your app.  Win Enh mode is
probably going to keep a couple more files open than the other modes.

Bump the FILES= to 30 or more and things should improve.  Betcha the fonts
look pretty ugly as well, right?  When Windows cannot open the font DLLs,
it uses a ugly looking default font.

WINA20.386 is required for proper operation.  If you don't want it in the
root, then look in the \DOS\README.TXT file for instructions on how to
move it, and tell windows where it is.
