Is that true of an entire drive or just the directory?
<snip>You can't actually write more files
than the
file structure supports if APPEND is all the extra help you've got.
How about some fancy DOS batch file programming and use of LHA (a
small compression program) to unpack and re-pack files only when
needed on the fly?

Didn't Stacker work with floppies as well as hard disks? ;-)

Yes, and it worked with RAM disks too. So if you wanted to compress a
lot of files up more-or-less instantly for sending somewhere, set up a
Stackered ramdisk, then pap the Stacker volume file over the wire...
