I have to jump on this one: you don't need FOLDR100 unless you access
hundreds of folders AT THE SAME TIME.  When you open a file, the
directories from the root of that drive down to that file are "in use."
When you close the file, they're not "in use" any more, and the space
is reclaimed.  Better internal memory management like this, and some
other things (like way faster FAT code and program launching), is why
you should get TOS 1.4 in the first place.
