Hello, I finally installed Turbo Pascal 6.0 this weekend and tried
rebuilding a project I've been working on that is based on the Turbo
Pascal Editor toolbox (4.0)

The problem I'm running into is that if I delete all my .TPUs and
build, it stops, opens up a window, and gives me an "Error 13 - To
many open files (MSDIRECT.INC)" message.  (MSDIRECT.INC is an include
file with the toolbox which sets various switches; it's included in
each file.)  OK, I select make, it brings up another window (different
file), same error.  Select make again, another window (diff. file),
same error.  Select make again, another window (diff. file), same
error.  Select make again and the compiler finishes the job.  All in
all the compiler stops on four particular files which I've added to
the toolbox.  Each file is using 10-20 units in the uses statement.

I'm curious as to what is going wrong since I had no problems building
this using TP5.5 using a files=20 in my config.sys.  I've tried
files=20, files=40, files=60 and files=80 with no discernable
improvement between 60 and 80.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brendan
