If you recompile _file.c to increase your file streams, you will
encounter the following warning:

   L4051 llibce.lib : cannot find library

If you specify /AL and /FPi87 on your compile line and build
LLIBC7.LIB, the warning will still occur.

This error occurs because, when you recompile _file.c, you must use
the /Zl option. This option removes the default library search records
from the object file. If this option is not used, the default library
will be searched for, rather than the library you specify.

The best way to modify the start-up code is to use the provided
STARTUP.BAT or STARTUP.CMD files. Documentation for the use of these
files may be found in STARTUP.DOC.
