Question:
I have a large project consisting of many units. I added a unit and
now I get an error "Too many files open". How can I work around this?
Answer:
Move your project to a directory with a short path name, or use the
dos subst command to substitute a drive letter for the directory name.
If you move the project to another directory, be sure to only move the
necessary files used to compile the application. Borland's Ti3214 -
"Moving Projects Between Machines or Directories" is also a helpful
resource. ie: .dpr, .pas, .res etc.. Note: Do not move the .dsm
files, as they have path information built into them, and will be
automatically regenerated.
