I wrote this utility to correct a problem with Maximus. When Maximus spawns
a process, such as to pack a QWK mail packet, the process is given only the
number of handles that happen to not be in use. Unfortunately, ZIP and other
programs, assume they are getting enough file handles to open all the files
they need to open. When spawned from Maximus this assumption often times is
not true.
To correct this problem, spawn FHEXP.EXE, giving it the program to run and
it's parameters as the parameters to FHEXP. FHEXP requests file handles
from OS/2, then spawns the program you have specified.
Included files are:
an example COMPRESS.CFG file for Maximus,
source code for FHEXP
source and executable code for ARGS, a bit of code used to test FHEXP.
One last note. I hope this helps you. It worked for me. However, if it
doesn't, it is not my responsibility. By trying and/or using any of the
code or programs provided, you accept full responsibility for their use.
In no case will I be responsibile.
