I have to jump on this one: you don't need FOLDR100 unless you access hundreds of folders AT THE SAME TIME. When you open a file, the directories from the root of that drive down to that file are "in use." When you close the file, they're not "in use" any more, and the space is reclaimed. Better internal memory management like this, and some other things (like way faster FAT code and program launching), is why you should get TOS 1.4 in the first place. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
