Jeff,

There are at least two different work-arounds that patch a larger number of
memory buffers into the system.  These are kludges that provide a larger number
of folders, but there is still a limit when using these methods.  This is not
what I and most other users call a fix to the problem.  A real fix is being
developed at Atari and will hopefully be available sometime in the near future.
Near future in this case probably means a year.  In the meantime, you should
use foldrxxx or GEMBOOT in order to get around the 40 folder problem.

I should also mention that the new release of ROM's should have numerous other
fixes such as the Malloc problems, etc.

I hope this helps.
