I'm running dBase III 1.10 under DOS 3.10, and haven't had any problems
like this.  Although I keep different projects in their own subdirectories,
one of these currently contains 206 files -- and runs fine.

I did have a similar problem with Version 1.0, however.  Perhaps this is
the source of the original rumor?
