Dotzauer) Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc Subject: file handles problem under DOS 3.21 Message-ID: <560@nisca.ircc.ohio-state.edu> Date: 7 Dec 89 14:57:52 GMT Sender: news@nisca.ircc.ohio-state.edu Distribution: usa Organization: Ohio State Univ IRCC Lines: 13 Under DOS 3.21, sometimes (but not always) I get the message 'insufficient file handles to run WordPerfect'. It seems that is a parameter that somehow gets accumulated while other applications are run, and not properly cleared when the applications are terminated. After I reboot, I can run WordPerfect alright. Is there a solution other than rebooting? -=- Peter Dotzauer: Numerical Cartography Lab, Dept. of Geography, OSU, Columbus, OH VOICE: (614) 292-1357 FAX: 292-9180 DATA: 293-0081 BITNET: ts3285@ohstvma UUCP: ...!osu-cis!hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu!pjd FIDO: 1:226/50 INTERNET: pjd@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu [128.146.1.5]
