Even with TOS 1.4 there is a static allocation of storage which puts an upper limit on the number of active folders you can have. If you exceed this limit, you get a message to that effect, the computer stops, and you must reboot. Because of better use of the storage pool in TOS 1.4, you might be able to get by just fine without increasing it. Also, many hard disk drivers increase it for you. But if you do run out, you can use FOLDRxxx to icrease it further. -- ================================================== | Michael Fischer | ==================================================
