Where do I put that? I'm using Windows XP which I think allows a maximum of 2048 open files. So I assume I need to put this in the ParaView code. I'm also wondering if there is a reason why the files need to stay open. It would be a lot nicer if I could close the files instead of leaving them open, then it wouldn't matter how many time steps I have.
