Pardon me, but I have a copy of foldrxxx.prg that is said to fix the 40 folder bug. Is this true? How does one use it? Thanks in advance, C. Breyman

Rename FOLDRxxx.PRG such that you replace the xxx with a number. Then place the renamed program in your \auto folder. The number is the number of additional folders (above and beyond the 40 folder limit) you want memory allocated for. Examples: FOLDR100.PRG Allows almost 140 folders TOTAL FOLDR135.PRG Allows almost 175 folders FOLDR400.PRG Allows a couple of large HD's :-) What I do is keep xxx (the number) set to the TOTAL number of folders on all my hard drive partitions plus about 10 or 20. AND I count the number of folders (adjusting xxx accordingly) occasionaly. This leaves room for what ever folders might be on any floppies you have in the floppy drive and some room to create more folders on your HD. --- Ray Wallace (INTERNET,UUCP) wallace@oldtmr.enet.dec.com (UUCP) ...!decwrl!oldtmr.enet!wallace (INTERNET) wallace%oldtmr.enet@decwrl.dec.com ---

Breyman |---------- Change the name of the program to represent the number of extra folders you want - e.g FOLDR100.PRG gives you 100 extra folders. Now put this into your AUTO folder and boot. As I recall, FOLDERXXX.PRG should be the first AUTP program run, but should follow FATSPEED if you use that. How many extra folders? The rule of thumb I've heard is to set it equal to the number of folders on you disc drive. I think this is for the absolute worst case of accessing all the folders at once which may never happen (a disk catalog or search program probably will do this).
