- It depends if it was a real filer window that had the 102 files in it. If it was
- a "filer" window put on screen by a utility, then it is quite feasible to
- exceed your 77 file limit. Someone even suggested using Arcfs in it's "Simply
- store the files, don't zap em" mode to get round the limit in RO2 for a large
- font directory. This sounds like a good way to compile some of the GNU stuff,
- 'cos they just love having 200 files in a directory :-)
