- Here's a way to get 26 levels:
-
- $ CREATE/DIR disk:[A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H]
- $ CREATE/DIR disk:[I.J.K.L.M.N.O.P]
- $ CREATE/DIR disk:[Q.R.S.T.U.V.W.X]
- $ CREATE/DIR [Y.Z]
- $ RENAME disk:[000000]Y.DIR disk:[Q.R.S.T.U.V.W.X]
- $ RENAME disk:[000000]Q.DIR disk:[I.J.K.L.M.N.O.P]
- $ RENAME disk:[000000]I.DIR disk:[A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H]
-
- But only the first 15 are easily accessible:
-
- $ DEFINE FUBAR/TRANS=(CONC,TERM) disk:[A.B.C.D.E.F.G.]
- $ DIR FUBAR:[*...]
