Gidday from New Zealand

I apologise if this is a stupid question, in the wrong place, or it was
answered yesterday.  I don't read this newsgroup, so please email an
advice direct to me.  I'll summarise, of course.

My question is:  Is there a way to open more than 20 files in Turbo
C++ V1.0?  The manuals don't tell me how (as far as I can tell :-)).
They just say that HANDLE_MAX (defined to be 20) is the maximum.

With 5 handles taken by standard io, etc, there's only 15 left :-(.  I
can't believe that's all I can have.  Yes, my config.sys does have a
line like FILES=50.

Any help appreciated.  Any help _soon_ will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark Moir.
