Actually you *need* sometimes Folderfix also with TOS 1.4. I noticed it when I was installing TeX 2.0. The installation documentation said that you will need a forderfix, and I did not believe it, so my installation was terminated on one point. There was very many files and folders, so the limit in TOS 1.4 might be higher, but there is a limit. But there was no corruption or other problems, so I added a folderfix to my ICD driver and continued instalation. >PinHead can help as it can be programed to clear memory that the OS. >does not clear, and from what I believe is faster than the OS. The main idea behind fastload bit and PinHead is that we do not zero whole memory before program load. By the way about the fast load bit. Some accessories do not behave well when it is on. >-- >Roger W.
