Swat can't find all the symbol files under Windows NT.



Q. I am running Windows NT on the host PC, but when I connect to the
   target using Swat in the Command Prompt window, Swat finds only the
   first 15 symbol files. For example, Swat connects and finds the symbol
   files for the first 15 geodes, but refuses to find the rest of the
   symbol files. When I connect Swat using Windows 3.1 on the host it
   works fine. Is there something about DOS boxes in NT that I should
   know about?

A. Increase the "FILES" setting in the \winnt\system32\config.nt file.
   Then restart the command prompt. (Files should be at least 80, but not
   more than 255.)

   The FILES setting is important even if you are using DOS or Windows
   3.1 or '95. The difference is the FILES is set in the \AUTOEXEC.BAT
   file.
