All these TOS bugs are really confusing me... Could someone please
clarify. Here are my questions.

1] With respect to TOS 1.4, what IS the 40 folder limit?
2] If I have more than 40 folders per subdirectory, does it crash?
3] If I have more than 40 folders per PARTITION, does it crash?
4] Does the original FOLDERXX.PRG still work for 1.4, or do I need
  a newer version?

5] This is to apratt of Atari
   I already have TOS14fix.prg in my autofolder. Now I am supposed to
put POOLFIX into it too? Why not incorporate both into ONE file so
we don't end up getting 18 stupid patch programs cluttering up our
AUTO folders?
