>You may be better off having files=100 or files=200, provided you have dos=high,umb in your config.sys. Not only that fox will use at least a dozen, but you also may be running other things at the same time (W95, right?), and they may use up some files too.

You're actually better off leaving out all the memory management commands (specifically DOS=HIGH,UMB) unless you have a strong reason to mess with settings for HIMEM.SYS or EMM386 by hand. The FILES= setting will decreate conventional memory per DOS VDM by ~28 bytes/additional file handle; the maximum setting is 254 or 255 as I recall.

I also recommend not adjusting the DOS buffers setting (BUFFERS=); if the amount of space allocated to buffers gets too large, the buffers are again llocated from conventional memory, and it's an all or nothing proposition - either buffer space is allocated in the HMA, or out of conventional RAM. Since the only real effect that BUFFERS has is during the initial load of Win9x (unless you are running with one or more drives in DOS Compatibility Mode, all file management takes place in protected memory, and the DOS buffer space is completely inactive.)
