DS> OPEN the sixteenth file.  My autoexe.bat has FILES=50 BUFFERS=30.
DS>Shouldnt QB4.5 be able to open more than 15 files at one time?

'$include:'qb.bi'
dim regs as regtype
regs.ax = &h67 * 256
regs.bx = 40              'number of files to have open
interrupt &h21,regs,regs

'That should do it for a few more files, but will be limited by dos's
space available in it's file's handle's table.  IOW, this is a cheap
solution and a more elegant solution is available.
