> We' been running FPW2.6a for years. Follow Al Doman's advice. We've run every OS to XP and haven't had a single problem except that the DOS Start /wait command in Win2K operates differently. Heck, We're still running Netware 3.11! Nary a problem.<<

Do any of your app require a large (150+) number of files to be open? Curious as to how you get around the file handles proble. The well know KB fix for windows ME, for example, using PerVMFile= in the ini file doesn't work for FPW, as they now acknowledge, and as far as I know the ME fix promised has not yet been issued by MS.

Any hints for resolving file handle problems on ME or XP?

( mostly for my own benefit so I can use my own machines to do some tweaks required for 2.6 apps while I convert them to 6.0 and don't have to maintain a 98 box)

TIA

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
