Eh? The directory contains the number of blocks that is specified. The
remainder of the last directory track is available for use by PDS members.
Then, how come I can zap the directory count up to a multiple of 44, and have
them available.
I also saw some (old) documentation stating this.
Following is a track dump of a PDS with 1 directory block allocated,
and 1 member stored in it. The member immediately follows the directory
block. Could it be that you used PDS from the CBT tape to add directory
blocks?
Note: I truncated the right half of the dump to avoid line wrap.
