It is possible to circumvent the 20 file limit when you are writing your own
applications from scratch in C or Assembler or other language of that sort.

If you are writing in dBASE, I would suggest dBXL or QuickSilver, both by
Wordtech, which have this enhancement built in. They key off of the FILES=
item in the config.sys, so if you say FILES=99, then 99 files can be opened.
