Could anyone tell me:

How many files can you effectively open under DOS (currently using 3.3
will move up to 5.0).  Would running Windows allow you to open any more
files?  I'm currently having trouble running 3 models concurrently under
Windows, they each need 10 output files.  

I know you can set the FILES line in CONFIG.SYS to a value like 200, but
though it doesn't complain, it doesn't give you the files either?

Any solutions?

Thanks in advance,
