too many files open?

[Carolyn Shere]

I recently started getting error messages of "too many files open". I 
could not open Appleworks 6 the other day and today I couldn't open 
Eudora. I only had one other program open at the time and not a lot 
of documents (either Acrobat or Explorer were open). I am also 
getting -42 error messages when Acrobat opens and my Mac error 
utilities (I have two) indicate that this also means there are too 
many files open. But I get this message with Acrobat even when 
nothing else is open (except Spell Tools which opens on start-up).

I have 384MB of RAM. This is a 9600/233 running OS 8.6. I know that 
the OS is part of my other problems with Acrobat 5. But don't 
understand the "too many files" problem.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Carolyn
