Error 41 makes me think maybe you're out of available file handles.
Try changing the FILES directive in your config.sys to FILES=50

Did the installer (if there was one) offer to adjust AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS variables for you, or perhaps write some modified copies of them for you to check? Maybe in the era of C 4.0 they hadn't made things that friendly yet and this information is just in the documentation somewhere.

I put file=50 on my CONFIG.SYS. Microsoft C 4.0 have less files above Microsoft C 4.00 should have. Microsoft C 4.00 now compile files. Thank
