	I thought this was well known by now, but I thought I'd
mention it in case there are Amiga+ST owners who don't follow the ST
group but use the ST (for MIDI, or whatever).  A program called GEMBOOT 
is available in the public domain (has been for almost a year) that fixes 
the 40 folder problem on the STs.  It loads at boot time and you can set 
the # of directories etc. etc. so it's essentially transparent to the user 
once it's put on the boot disk.  It's free, so you may want to get it,  and 
I'll send it up if you (John?) will drop me a note,
