[that there's no limit on the size of a subdirectory] Yes, it's true. A ProDOS subdirectory's size is limited only by available disk space. A particular ProDOS 8 application might not be willing to read more than a fixed number of entries in a subdirectory, or possibly even to create a new entry after a certain point, but a ProDOS 8 CREATE call will succeed--the limitation isn't in the volume format or the system software. -- David A.
