Does anybody know whether the famous '40 folder problem' is fixed in later
version of TOS ??

I have a 4Meg STe with a 40M FA.ST Hard drive, with about 100 folders.
Occasionally
files get corrupted, different files get into the middle of files..It
looks very much
like the problems when, with my 1040, I encountered the 40 folder
problem.

I have tried with foldr150.prg but that didn't seem to change anything,
but it could
be because the problem has already happened and until I ZERO the
partition it
will continue regardless.

Anybody any ideas ??

Thanks
