There is no 20 file limit in DOS. The maximum number of open files is
set with the FILES= parameter in the config.sys. I have known applications
which required FILES to be set to 60 or 80. Either DOS has not been
configured appropriately, or Lightyear has a problem. So, increase the FILES
and see what happens.
