   Even so, I have killed the 40-folder bug, fixed Malloc, and removed the
   molasses from the FAT handling code, plus lots of other, more minor
   fixes.  Sorry about teasing you with this stuff, but I don't know how or
   when it will be released.  One good possibility is as a RAM-loaded
   upgrade (only 32K, not 200K like RAM TOS was). 

Two questions: One is this a FIX of the 40-folder bug or a patch?  The
current patch just bumps up the limit but can still be broken.  In
other words did you fix it so that I could have an infinite number of
folders or that I can set some limit that I have to promise never to
pass?

Two, can you give a reason why these fixes are not being released?
I am sure that EVERYONE would like to have these little gems :-).
