break, because the MS-DOS subsystem works without them. They are accepted

[[Files
Sets the number of files that the MS-DOS subsystem can access at one time.
Use the systemroot\System32\Config.nt file, or the equivalent startup file
specified in a program's program information file (PIF), to specify the
files parameter.
Syntax
files=x
Parameters
x: Required. Specifies the number of files that the MS-DOS subsystem can
access at one time. Valid values for x are in the range 8 through 255. The
default value is 8.
Remarks
Although the default setting for the x parameter is 8, some programs require
a larger value. A typical setting is 20.
Examples
To specify that the MS-DOS subsystem can access up to 20 files at one time,
type the following line in your Config.nt file:
files=20 ]]
