???? whats the problem with CL.EXE ???? 

the problem is, that the CRT defines a maximum number of open files at a
time (thx) and YOU as a CRT user can change this at any time you want. 

you should NOT confuse CRT with a codeTranslator. CL.EXE (which in reality
is just the compiler front end - when you want to patch the compiler you
must path the compiler back end!) is just the codeTranslator. it has
nothing to do with the crt.

reread MicroSofts readme file. you confuse 2 completly different things.

this has again nothing to do with MicroSofts compiler. contact IBM OS/2
support and request a function call you want. (they will NOT implement this
senseless function i would guess).

 WARPED!, Mario
