Novell seems to ignore the Config.Sys Command, Files=50, when using
Novell 2.15 and Microsoft C 5.1.  Normally Microsoft C 5.1 refuses to
give more than 20 file handles, but the compiler can be modified (by
modifying the source code for MC 5.1, crtodat.asm) to give you a greater
number of file handles.  Unfortunately Novell 2.15 seems to ignore this
change, and will give a maximum of 40 file handles.  Is there any way to
get around this?
