Thanks for the info. 255 seems high, unless you had special needs, since
that was the max, I think. Your boot floppy find got me to look again
for mine, but it's still not there -- however, I did look in the Xy
install disks this time (several 4.x versions) and XYWRITE.INF checks to
see that Files is set to at least 28; nothing about buffers. (8 was the
MSDOS minimum. 30 is the standard Dosemu Files setting, and my old Win98
book says 30 too.)
