I have a version which I modified a while back to handle up to 999 files simultaneously, and which I can send to anyone privately on request, as long as you accept the entire risk of using it (and you should probably also heed Martyn's warning!). It has probably diverged from the distributed version and may not have benefitted from any recent (and no-so-recent) bugfixes, so no guarantees to fix it if it doesn't work for you!
And yes it was a pig to get it working, it wasn't just a matter of increasing MAXFILES, the file limits are also embedded in the labels. Caveat emptor!
