Purpose:
Allows you to determine the number of File Control Blocks
(FCBs) that
can be open concurrently.
Syntax:
fcbs=x,y
Comments:
The x option represents the number of ftles that File Control
Blocks can
open at anyone time. The default value for x is 4, but
allowed values range from 1 to 255.
If an application tries to open more than x ftles by FCBs, the y
option specifies the number of ftles opened by FCBs that MS· DOS
cannot close automatically. The first y ftles opened by FCBs are
protected from being closed. The default value is 0, but allowed
values range from 1 to 255.
Example:
To open up to four ftles by FCBs and to protect the first two files
from being closed,
put the following line in your config.sys ftle:
r== fcbs=4,2
