 Question:  Is there a limit to the total number of files that a 
double-sided floppy disk can contain. (I'm NOT refering to the 40 
folder limit). I suspect that the 'FAT' must have a ceiling to it. 
If someone does know this 'magic' number , might you also suggest a 
technique to trap for this disk 'error'.  I'm using GFA 3.07
                     Thanks,
                                Ron,
