This all makes sense, except for one thing: i was topping out at a little over
14,000 files per directory. This happened 2 times, but not on *exactly* the
same number of files, crashing the two separate programs, at which point i
modified all the programs to sort to multiple directories, resulting in 1000's
of
directories, with 100's of files in each. All these files are on the small side,
only 1000 bytes.
Win95B, LFN, 2nd 15gig partition on a 30gig drive, 10.5gig free, FAT32,
using exw40.exe (registered) (a few winapi calls, dos32 gui and file calls
otherwise).
