Cetin,

I do not have a Win. 95 workstation at this location, but I have a W98.
I do not see a 'files' setting in the shortcut on the desktop.

>>One of my clients has been running a FP 2.5 application for several years in a DOS window on a Win. 95 workstation.
>>Last month, after installing a new version of McAfee Virus Scan, a 'too many files open' error started to occur in one of the programs.
>>Currently, they do not have a 'files=' statement in Config.sys.
>>Is this statement actually used in the DOS environment on a Win. 95 workstation or is there a setting somewhere else that I am not aware of?
>>Also, how do I determine what the current files setting is and the # that are required?
>>Am I on the right track to resolving the problem?
>>TIA.
>Allan,
>DOS sessions use it and AFAIK default is 60. You can set it for all DOS sessions by editing the config.sys directly or you could change it for your application (rightclick on shorcut to get properties for DOS settings) but latter would be an overkill.
>Also if you have a utility called files.com (don't remember where I got it) you could have these lines in your .bat file :
>
>files 100
>my25app.exe
>
>It behaves as if you had files=100 in config.sys :)
