You can also type that command at the prompt before
running Clipper. Of course it would be easier if you
put the line in the autoexec.bat file of your DOS ;-)

If the F99 is related to the FILES=99 setting, it is
probably not useful to set "clipper" but not "files"?

There are tools to raise FILES after boot, but the
recommended way is to put the setting properly in
your DOS config.sys file instead.

I generally recommend to have proper configuration
for your DOS installation: Without those two config
files (config.sys and autoexec.bat) you will have
to confirm date and time at each boot and DOS will
perform at a very mediocre level compared to what
it can do, in particular on modern hardware.

Maybe somebody could cite their own (preferably both
SIMPLE and efficient) config.sys and autoexec.bat in
FreeDOS as example configs for you on this list here?

By the way, have you tried running your Clipper software
in the more modern clone Harbour? See our software info:
