[comp.sys.amiga] Max songs DMCS can handle

        I have been playing with DMCS for the last few days and have
        found what I think is a bug.

        It seems that is you have a *large* number of scores in your
        music directory, DMCS gets lost.  I point to FS1:Music in the
        requester, the harddisk gronks and then nothing, the mouse is
        active, but thats it.  It appears that DMCS simply cannot load
        the directory.  If you leave it long enough, DMCS will eventually
        GURU.  At this point I'm not sure what the maximum number of scores
        is, but I was playing with 114 scores when this happened.

        My environment:

        Amiga B2000
        1 Meg Memory
        A2090 card
        FFS partition (10meg).
        DMCS loaded from floppy.
        scroes and instruments on Hdisk.

        Has anyone else  heard of this?  If so, what is the maximum scores
        DMCS can handle?
