In digest 185 uh@unido.uucp (...seismo!unido!uh), Uwe Hoch posted a program
FOLDRxxx.PRG, he got from ATARI BBS in Raunheim. The program "should catch
the 40-folder limit" as he was told.
I analyzed FOLDRxxx.PRG and found that it does *not* fix the TOS bug.
It adds a number of system blocks as AHDI.PRG and GEMBOOT.PRG does, but
without any drive logging this does only delay the system crash.

Nevertheless this small program was disclosing that there exists (at least)
4 different ROM-TOS versions with following release dates:
  11/20/1985
  02/06/1986
  04/24/1986
  06/01/1986

I should be glad if someone of ATARI (Neil ?) would comment the differences
and the bug fix status of these TOS releases.
Thanks in advance.
