Hi, Just having a 1040 (yes, they are delivering now) and being a little bored, I decided to check whether the famous 40 folder limit also applies to floppies. I did the following: Create a bunch of (partially nested) folders. diskinfo tells I have 38 folders. Create three new folders. diskinfo still tells I have 38 folders. Delete a folder (to trash) Still 38 folders left. Repetitive Deleted another folder. Got an error message, that the selected folder cannot be found in the admin. All icons in the window disappear. close the window reopen the disk : All icons are back in town. Ah... the problem seems repetitive. Try to open the faulty folder: works fine! Close the faulty folder and delete it: Hey it works! Is there any explanation for this behaviour which can be expressed by words other than BUG etc.?? Or is this just a beginners problem (don't yell too loud)? -- Frans Meulenbroeks Philips Distributed Realtime Multiprocessor System uucp: for the time being: philmds!frans sometime in the future: phildr2!frans
