I remember databases benefitting from a high amount of file handles, not 'benefit'. for some problems, many handles are needed, otherwise the database will not work at all. there is NEVER spurious problems caused by too many handles. but likely that's already being taken care of by caching

Hi Tom, This might be irrelevant to the case at hand. if the answer to 2) is 'FreeDOS' then either SHARE.EXE is not running or SHARE.EXE is buggy. the latter is quite likely as it was never really tested against network access. If you know; does FreeDOS's file locking (ie SHARE) propagate
