Tee hee.  Talk to Jason ("Born To Code") Loveman, the original author of
GEMDOS (TOS).  The "number of subdirectories" limitation is the result
of one of his brilliant ideas on how to make a "better" OS.

Jason no longer works at DRI; he started his own company, Awesome [sic]
Technology, just before the ax was about to fall on him here.
