Can anyone describe to me an application that requires more than 12 files open at the same time? The only one I ever thought of was a merge/sort application where you might want to merge N sorted files into one, and you would like to have N files open for read and one open for write. > Btw, does that 12 count standard files? (stdin, stdout, > stderr, stdaux, stdprn) It doesn't count stdin, stdout or stderr. The total is really 15. > Hey, why is Euphoria list named "Euphoria Programming for > MS-DOS"? It shouldn't be, since we now have exw! I made a request, but I guess it's a difficult thing to change. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software
