[comp.sys.atari.st] FOLDRXXX.PRG, you got it!

870646c@aucs.UUCP (barry comer) (12/11/87)

Well I don't seem to be the only one looking for the FOLDRXXX.PRG.
I have had some requests to post this prg. to the net. Since the 
40 folder limit can be a dangerous thing to hard disk owners if left
untreated, and since the binaries section is soooooooo sloooooow, I
have decided to do just that. It is small so it should not bother 
anyone, also I want to thank all 13 people who sent the prg. to me.
By the way to people that have not used this prg. before listen up:
1. Place the prg. in your auto folder.
2. Replace the xxx with the number of folders you want.
   i.e. FOLDRXXX.PRG becomes FOLDR100.PRG for 100 folders.
later
Barry

In one of the atari periodicals it was announced that they fixed the 40 folder
bug in the Mega St roms.

If those are the same ROMs that they are selling us developers, then the
answer is NO, the "40 folder bug" still exists, and the magazine article
is incorrect.

Neil: please jump in here if if the ROM upgrade for the 520/1040 is different
than what is in the Megas.  I understand they are the same.

You're correct, Farrell.  The 40 folder limit still exists in the ROMs.  We
still recomment FOLDRXXX.PRG as the fix for the problem.

Which ST periodical was this?  I thought we had most of them trained to call
and verify information before printing things like that.
