Recently Allan explained us that the 40 folder limit has been solved
in TOS 1.4. This makes me wonder. What has been done about the Fsfirst
call and the DTA. The existence of hanging pointers to file structures
makes it kind of difficult to clean up those structures. Can I safely
do many Fsfirst calls? (locally we have seen some crashes that look
suspiciously like the 40 folder limit even though tos1.4 was running).
Or did I miss something in the docs? (Atari Benelux does send updates
around to devellopers).
