I think it is 255.

Someone refresh my memory:
How many files can there be in a subdirectory?
I've been working with a gentleman who runs his business on a GS, using a
program that he wrote in AppleSoft. He has an inventory subdirectory that
contains a single file for every raw material item he uses--331. He can
manually put the items in there, but Copy ][+ only wants to copy over to a
different volume (for backup purposes, and us putting his material on a CFFA
that he bought) 250--then it stops. I know there was a limit of 55 files
for the root directory, but I thought there wasn't a limit in a
subdirectory? And even if there was--say that magic 255 number, why would it
stop at 250? (Even this is suspect since he had 331 in there before, and
does again, after entering the info in by hand over the weekend. He just
can't copy it all over.)
Later.................Howard
