DSN in Catalog:
Did CVOL ever impose a five-level limit, or was this an urban
legend?
It had a 22 level limit - 21 single character levels, one 1 or 2
character level, plus 21 inter-level periods for a total file name
length of 44. The number of levels dropped by 1 for each extra
character in a level (after that first 2 character level) since each
extra character replaced an inter-level period until you got to the 5
level limit you mention which occurred with five 8 Character Indexes
(and 4 inter-level periods).
