No flame intended, but I think this is the first *real* description of the problem that I've seen. Which brings me to my question. When I disassembled AHDI (version 1.7 I think) I noticed that it contained identical pool-extension code to FOLDRXXX. So am I right in thinking that if AHDI extends the pool by a large enough number of directory node descriptors I can throw away FOLDRXXX? I could add code to AHDI to make the extnension variable (duplicating the functionality of the 'XXX' in 'FOLDRXXX'). -- JANET: malcolm@uk.ac.clp.tvax Internet/EARN/Bitnet: malcolm@tvax.clp.ac.uk
