Robert,

I believe this depends on your Windows version. The DOS limits persisted at
least until Win95.

Also, Windows has (had?) a bad habit of not freeing handles at the same rate
you used them, thus forcing you to reboot every now and then. Might take
hours, might take weeks, depending on how fast you used them up. I recall
hearing that with Win31 this was a major source of system blockage,
especially when not-too-elegant programs shut down without closing open
files first.
