What does the thing in config.sys (run=) need to do in order to impact
other programs?  Basically, I'd like to interfere myself, upwards for a
nice change!  So I wrote the following program, and stuck it in my
config.sys, but it had no effect on my other applications...

#define INCL_DOS
#include 

int main(void)
{
    DosSleep(50000L);
    DosSetMaxFH(200);
    return (0);
}
