                In TOS 1.0 und TOS 1.02, the limit for the number of
                directories that you can enter is around 40. With this
                program you can extend that limit much higher. If you
                are using a hard drive, this program is recommended
                highly. It will work with all TOS versions and will
                improve the performance of your system.
