I just tried tbl123 with a large spreadsheet and got a memory
fault. When writing the program for our Xenix'286, I
discovered that our C compiler on Xenix didn't allow an "r+"
attribute on fopen. As a result, a lot of the temporary files
carry around 2 file pointers (r/w). And their are a lot of temp
files to begin with. I think that this blows the 20 file
descriptor limit.
The best work around is to go to a smaller point size. This
opens fewer files and you won't get the error. When, we
upgrade to a '386, I'll redo the file pointer stuff and free
up some more descriptors.
QUESTION: Is there anyway of increasing the number of
descriptors a process can open at one time (a la, FILES=30)?
Anyone having any other problems, please e-mail me and I'll
try to help.
