When Patrick van Kleef posted the recent AHDI.PRG that he obtained from
Atari Benelux with the promise that it fixed the 40-folder bug, I downloaded
it and passed it on via Compuserve to Julius Oklamcak of Atari Canada, who
did a little investigating.  He tells me that the posted program is the
standard, Atari (world) supplied driver in its latest version.  Therefore,
you may want it if you had an older version.  However, it does nothing to
cure the 40-folder problem, and he was able to demonstrate to himself this
fact (I didn't try the program on my own drive).  I was disappointed, but
still hope that Alan's patch will soon see the light of public distribution.

Julius is still experimenting with the previously posted INSTALL package, by
the way, and I should have his report soon.  I haven't tried it myself either.
