Hello. I have a couple of questions. First of all, I seem to recall that you can put your all your desk accessories in a folder with some particular name (just as you can put applications that you would like to run at startup in a folder called "auto"). What is the name of the special folder for desk accessories???? The woefully inadequate manual that came with my ST doesn't even mention the auto folder... My other question relates to hard disk partitioning. I just got an 80M hard disk. ICD tells that TOS only recognizes partition <= 16M. I assumed that this was just a bug in the current version of TOS - so I'm living with 5 16M partitions. But the people at ICD then told me that TOS 1.4 will support partitions up to 32M in size. Why is this??? I don't understand why you can't have a 256M partition. What is Atari's rationale for doing this? Thanx for your input...
