	I would like to know how to open a large number of files at
	once under MS-DOS 3.30.  For instance, if I want to open
	50 files, I would put the line:

			files = 50

	in my CONFIG.SYS file and reboot.  However, this does not 
	seem to work.

	I have heard that there are some memory-resident programs
	that allow me to do this, but I would like another way
	of doing this, e.g. a patch to COMMAND.COM, etc.

	If you have any information, source code (C and/or assembly)
	or anything else you might think is useful, could you please
	e-mail it to me?  Thank you very much.
