I am *trying* to run the following: SCO Xenix 2.3.3 using VP/IX 1.1 with an accounting package known as AccPac (Very popular in Canada). Things go along fine for a while and then AccPac locks up with an out of file handles message. Under Xenix I have configured the kernel to provide lots of inodes and handles. Is there some other parameter I ought to be taking a look at? In the Interactive Unix group, I saw mention made of a parameter known as NDOSINODE. The problem complained of seemed similar to mine. Unfortunately in SCO Xenix, I haven't run accross any such parameter. Thanx for any help. -- ||| Marcel D. Mongeon ||| e-mail: ... (uunet, maccs)!joymrmn!root or ||| joymrmn!marcelm

Note that this is on your drive C and if your system doesn't give each user their own DOS environment you must have root privileges to change this. -- D'Arcy J.M.

The identical files etc. running on a clean DOS machine work fine. I am not running on the C drive but a 'DOSMOUNTed' D: drive. I have also tried all sorts of different FILES= numbers to no avail. Someone has suggested that there may be a kernel limit on the number of files open per process so I'm going to try looking for that. -- ||| Marcel D. Mongeon ||| e-mail: ...
