There is a limit on the number of files in the root directory
(subdirectories are a special class of file). There is no restriction on
the number of files (including subdirectories) in a subdirectory.
However, there _is_ a limit to the total length of a path name, so be
careful when you nest subdirectories.
Cheers
John
