If you create lots of folders anywhere (e.g. RAMdisk) you're in the
40-folders-bug's den.  Watch out!  (This is due to TOS keeping info
about folders in a finite-size area.)

If you access the same few folders repeatedly you are also courting
disaster!  (This is due to TOS creating multiple copies of info about
the same folders (a bug that I consider separate from the 40-folders
bug), and then the finite space...).  You're safe if you remove the media
periodically - but what about the RAMdisk (or Harddisk)?

I've written a program (called 'Uproot') that forces TOS to believe
the media has been changed on a specified drive.  I hope it will be
posted soon on comp.*.atari.st (it's "in the queue").  E-mail me
if you're desperate.
