FILES()
Evaluates the setting of FILES in Config.sys.
Returns <expN> number of files on FILES= line in Config.sys.
Returns zero if FILES is not specified in Config.sys
-1 if Config.sys cannot be found.
Uses COMSPEC to determine where to find Config.sys.
m_files = FILES()
DO CASE
CASE m_files = -1
? "Error -- cannot find Config.sys"
CASE m_files < 20
? "Error -- set FILES=20 in Config.sys"
OTHERWISE
? "Congratulations -- Config.sys is OK!"
ENDCASE
Hazard
If you boot from a floppy disk, then change disks, or SET
COMSPEC to a different disk drive, this will not return the
correct result unless the new disk or drive also contains a
Config.sys file with the same information as the one with
which you booted.
