    Use an array of FILE objects.

    >>low limits on the number of files any single process can have open at the same time.

    In dos i thought it was about 7 . But to open 100 files ::i dont think that any OS lets one app open so many files.

    An example is in my first post in this thread
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
