I am the author of AHDI.PRG, and I can categorically state that it

	DOES NOT FIX THE 40-FOLDER LIMIT

despite anything that Atari Benelux claims.  I don't care how many
folders you've been able to have on your hard disk.  And yes, I
think the 40-folder limit sucks.

I have a "fix" (that lets one choose how many folders one wants, at
the expense of some memory) that will be posted to compuserve as
soon as I'm satisfied it *works*.
