Clipper will use the LESSER of the FILES=XX statement in your config.sys
and the environment variable CLIPPER=FXX.

To open more than 15 files in Clipper, you must use  a statement 
     SET CLIPPER=F31   (Nantucket says this should be ODD number)
in your autoexec.bat or from the DOS command line.
This statement would allow 31 files to be open.  NOTE you must also have
your FILES= statement in config.sys set at 31 or greater.
