I am trying to run Managing Your Money and CheckFree at the same time in Multifinder. Apparently, these programs each open a lot of files and the system is complaining about the number of open files has been exceeded. Is there a way to increase the limit on the Mac? Any information will be appreciated. Thanks. -- Daniel

Use a utility like Suitcase II and go to the "Settings", then "Power User Settings" Dialog box. There is some caution about not running out of memory, "each one over 12 uses 300K of RAM whether used or not.. . I don't know why, etc. 'later

Oops! That's right. It's 300 bytes, not K. I should have been more careful. 300K is a hefty chunk of memory, for sure. This message is available when selecting a number greater than 12 open files at a time in Suitcase II.

I thought that the original question referred to the message "...too many open files...," or something like that. I do not know what kind of files are meant in this message. I think that through the settings options of Suitcase one can specify the maximum number of Suitcase files that may be open. If the files meant in the message "...too many open files..." are not Suitcase files then I question the effectiveness of the proposed approach to solving the original problem the way I understand it and ...experience it. Anyone for clarifications? Thank you. |--------------------------------------|-------|-------------------------------| | Konstantinos Papamichael | | | | | Phone: (415) 486-6854 | | 90-3111 Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | |-| | | FAX: (415) 486-4089 | | Berkeley, CA 94720 | | | | | E-Mail: k_papamichael@lbl.gov | |--------------------------------------|-------|-------------------------------|

Anyone for clarifications? Thank you. The problem is with any kind of open files.... Because Suitcase can be used to open a lot of files, it provides a way to increase the number of possible open files.... this setting works whether or not the files in question are Suitcase files. -Vincent Del Vecchio vd09@andrew.cmu.edu #include "stdsig.h"
