My old DOS app needs more file handles.

Normally I would put a line like 'files=140' in CONFIG.SYS or CONFIG.NT. Where do I put this in DOSBox?

Thanks.

I think DOSBox uses files=127 internally. To bypass that value you need to recompile the source code yourself.

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)

Thanks. I tried my program with files=127 and it worked ok so that evidently isn't the problem. Guess I'll have to try other settings.
