But note: if you rebuild any of the DLLs, you must also re-link
<tt>
sbbsctrl.exe

with the
Borland import libraries for those DLLs (see
<tt>
src/sbbs3/ctrl/makelibs.bat

for details).

Caveat:
</b>
There is a known limitation with the Borland C run-time library (RTL) which may effect any Synchronet
system built soley with Borland C++: The Borland C RTL is limited to
<i>
50
</i>
open files.
Microsoft's C RTL does not have this limitation. The solution requires you have the
source code to the Borland C RTL (normally in the
<tt>
Source\rtl
</tt>
directory):
<ul>
<li>
Increase the value for the
<tt>
_NFILE
</tt>
definition in
<tt>
include/io.h
</tt>
<li>
Compile
<tt>
rtl\Source\io\files.c
</tt>
and
<tt>
files2.c
</tt>
<li>
Link
<tt>
files.obj

sbbs.exe
