I have a problem of setting FILES environment variable in WinMe. That is needed for running old MS-DOS program, which needed much more file descriptors than it is set in WinMe by default.
I had found in Windows Help that ‘msconfig’ should be usedfor it, done as it was written there, and after reboot ‘set’ command shows the variable. But it didn’t increase the available file descriptors. (possibly, ‘msconfig’ tries to set it in autoexec.bat, but in MS-DOS it was set in config.sys)
I have written the test program that just opens files until fopen() returns an error. This program opens only 15 files and stops, though the default value of FILES should be 60 (as said in WinMe Help, Troubleshooter, MS-DOS programs).
Can somebody help me to solve this problem?
