files

This is a config.sys command. It tells FreeDOS how many files it should be able to have open simulataneously. 
   files=n

where n is the number of files, in the range 8-255.

The default setting is 8, but a good number for most modern systems is 20. Some programs may need a higher setting to function correctly; such programs will usually give the value that is needed in their documentation.

Example

   files=20
