Hmmm, strange error message.  FCB means File Control Block in F83 lingo (ans
elsewhere).  I'd suspect that either it can't file the files, or it has run
out of file handles.  In the first case, Jax's suggestion of putting them on
drive A may help.  In the second, put a line with FILES=20 into your
CONFIG.SYS and see if that helps.  If you don't have such a file, then you are
probably getting bit by the excesses of DOS' default of 8 handles.  I'm
suprised you haven't had to "fix" it for other programs already.
