As I recall I have always used buffers=40, files=40, and I still have a
compiled RBDOS application running, plus R:base 3.1 DOS applications and
4.0.
On older versions of Windows, these statements would be in the
CONFIG.SYS file in the root, however, newer Windows like XP, Vista, 7,
you will need to edit the file named CONFIG.NT which should be in the
\windows\system32 folder. There are also some tweaking of other
statements in CONFIG.NT and AUTOEXEC.NT that will optimize the available
low memory (640kb) that these need to run, as I recall there are some
drivers to do with legacy CD ROM support that don't need to load which
can save some memory.

Hi All,
Anybody that can answer this question has probably been around forever....
What is the optimum or max settings for Files and Buffers for Rbase
for DOS?
As I recall, you had to put these two lines in the config.sys file....
buffers = 60
files = 60
Assuming you were running Rbase for DOS on a Windows PC, would I add
two new user variables or two new system variables?
