At first I thought it was a DOS message as well. The identical files
etc. running on a clean DOS machine work fine. I am not running on the
C drive but a 'DOSMOUNTed' D: drive.
I have also tried all sorts of different FILES= numbers to no avail.
Someone has suggested that there may be a kernel limit on the number of
files open per process so I'm going to try looking for that.
