Blinker Executable Clipper

| Hi,
I use Clipper 5.2e + Blinker 5.1
Which command is correct ?
Blinker Executable Clipper F128
or
Blinker Executable Clipper F:128
or
Blinker Executable Clipper //F:128
My config.sys setting files open 40 and I use command blinker to open
files 128.
Why my application still error dos 4 ?
Which setting read first, config.sys or blinker ?
Thx,
Julian

So... you tell your system that (MS-DOS) programs can be allowed to have
40 files opened simultaneously; you tell Blinker to create your program
so that it opens up to 128 files simultaneously; and you wonder that
your application runs out of file handles? Gosh, I wonder _what_ could
be the problem...

Both. They have different purposes. The files= setting in config.sys
tells your system how many files can be opened, max. The Blinker setting
tells your _program_ how many files it may try to open. If the latter
exceeds the former, the result is often, as you've seen, a somewhat
predictable failure.

Julian:
I use same Clipper and same Bliinker as you.
The linker command I use is:
BLINKER EXECUTABLE CLIPPER //E0;F100;
However, my config.sys file on my Win98SE machine has:
FILESHIGH=127
You must have your config.sys file declare at least five more files than
your bliinker link script requires.
(I hope one of the gurus here can validate my statements)
