1.3.4 Environment Settings
Before using the Cross-Assembler, verify or change the following two files.
CONFIG.SYS
If FILES and BUFFERS specifications do not already exist in CONFIG.SYS, then you must add them.
If they do already exist, then check their settings, and change them if necessary.
NOTE: Be sure to make these settings. If the assembler is started without them, then
the error message "bad tmpbss(w)" will be output and processing will stop. This
means that the number of files that can be opened simultaneously is insufficient.
Terminology: CONFIG.SYS
This is the file that sets the MS-DOS operating environment. FILES specifies
the number of files that can be read and written simultaneously.
BUFFERS specifies the size of memory used for reading/writing disks.
FILES=20
BUFFERS=20
