No, when you boot from any disk without a CONFIG.SYS on it, DOS just takes the defaults for files and buffers. The defaults have varied with DOS version, I think. In 3.3, I believe the defaults were FILES=8 and BUFFERS=2, 3, 5, 10 or 15 (depending on diskette drives installed and memory size). See the DOS manual for details. DC
