I have forgotten how to up the maximum number of files but I'm certain someone here knows how.  Something else you might want to consider however is that C++ uses HUGE quantities of memory.  Even simple MacApp programs (is there such a thing?) may require that MPW be set to around 3 megs.  I know that I've seen wierd inexplicable error messages when my memory has been set to low.
