The enclosed Increased File Handle Libraries for Microsoft Visual C++ 
1.0, 32-bit Edition, contain the following 5 files:

   README.TXT   - File containing instructions on use of these .LIBs
   LIBC.LIB     - Single threaded run-time library
   LIBCMT.LIB   - Multi-threaded run-time library
   MSVCRT1X.LIB - Import library for MSVCRT1X.DLL
   MSVCRT1X.DLL - Multi-threaded run-time library in a DLL.

These run-time libraries have been rebuilt to allow the use of up to
256 file handles or up to 128 file streams.  Please note that three
handles and streams will be used by stdin, stdout and stderr.

The libraries must be in your current directory or in a directory
specified by the LIB environment variable.  If you place them in
your \msvcnt\lib directory, be sure to make a backup copy of the
existing libraries of the same name.

In order for MSVCRT1X.LIB to be used as a default library, it must
be renamed to MSVCRT.LIB.  If you use this library, MSVCRT1X.DLL will
have to be in your path.

These files are provided for the convenience of Visual C++ users, and
are provided without any support. Any questions about their use should
be directed to the CIS MSLANG forum.
