  I've had no problems doing this, but I have a 2 meg machine so the
extra file buffers in memory probaably don't impact on my memory usage as
much as it would on a 1 meg machine.  I can't think of any other changes
that would need to be made, but after doing it I'd watch your system
and change it back if you notice any problems.
  Also if you ever create a system disk for a friend by draging a system/finder
onto a floppy I believe the finder copies the current {ie. your hard drives
boot blocks} boot block on their floppy.  The reason I mention this is that
they might not want to allow that many files to be open on their system.

  ONe last thing, I can't help but think that apple set that limit for a
reason, could anyone from Apple give us in netland a summary of what the
exact ramifications of changing the max files is, like I said I've had no
problems so far, but then again I might be a special case.
