Fcbs Ü
ßßßßß
Specifies the number of file control blocks (FCBs) that FreeDOS can
have open at the same time. An FCB is a data structure that stores
information about a file.
Syntax: FCBS=x
x Specifies the number of file control blocks that FreeDOS can
have open at one time. Valid values for x are 1 through 255.
The default value is 4.
Limitation on opening files
If a program tries to open more than x files by using file control
blocks, FreeDOS might close the files that were opened earlier.
Recommended use of the FCBS command
Use the FCBS command only if a program requires you to do so. Most
newer programs do not require file control blocks. However, some older
programs might require you to use the FCBS command in your CONFIG.SYS
file.
Example:
To specify that FreeDOS can have up to fourteen file control blocks open
at the same time, add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:
FCBS=14
