I have one more question about DM which I find kind of important:

   What is the largest folder (in number of files) that DM can handle
   efficiently.  I have many fonts (hundreds) that it would be convenient
   to keep all of them on my hard disk at the same time.  The actual
   suitcases number about 100, but the PostScript outline fonts consist
   of about 600 files.  I tried DM, but it takes forever to rebuild the
   partition that those 600 files are on.  Right now, they are in one
   big folder (the System Folder) making about 650 files.  Is there a
   maximum number of files I should keep in one folder.  If there is, what
   is a good way to solve my problem.

Thanks.  Please e-mail me or post to this group.
