Hi Paul,

Under OS/2 2.1 the MMOS/2 drivers increased the default number of file
handles per address space. This was actually a bug. Warp fixed the bug
and broke a lot of programs that were running correctly before.

You need to call DosSetMaxFH() or DosSetRelMaxFH() to bump up the
number once more.

Regards

Dave
