+/*
+** FILES.C:  A program to determine the number of file handles
+**
+** Released in to the Public Domian by Matthew Hunt @ 1:129/135, in the
+** hopes that no "programmer" will be so lazy that he|she simple reads
+** the CONFIG.SYS file ever again.
+**
+** Any improvements and modifications are welcome, but I ask that all
+** modified versions also be placed into the Public Domain.
+**
+** Information on the List of Lists and SFT format was provided by
+** PC Magazine November 26, 1991, and PC Interrupts by Ralf Brown
+** and Jim Kyle.  FILES.C was originally written for Power C.
+**
+** Modifcations for other compiler support by Bob Stout @ 1:106/2000.6
