> How is Directories implemented in DOS2? Where can I find info on this.

A directory is nothing but an ordinary file (except for the "directory" attribute set 
in its attributes byte) containing the entries for the files (and other directories) 
contained in the directory. The format of these entries is the same as in the root 
directory.

For example, if you have the following in the root directory of drive A:

FILE1.EXT
(date, size, 1st cluster, attr=a-----)
FILE2.EXT
(date, size, 1st cluster, attr=a-----)
DIR1
(date, size, 1st cluster, attr=a----d)

Then "DIR1" is actually a file with the following contents:

FILE3.EXT
(date, size, 1st cluster, attr=a-----)
FILE4.EXT
(date, size, 1st cluster, attr=a-----)
DIR2.EXT
(date, size, 1st cluster, attr=a----d)

And you can access A:\FILE1.EXT, A:\FILE2.EXT, A:\DIR1\FILE3.EXT, A:\DIR1\FILE4.EXT, 
A:\DIR1\DIR2\other files. It is actually quite simple.
