The archives are there (up to June 1998); perhaps you can point to a message in which Nev asked for some help with HDOS. > Fine, if you don't want to use a hard drive like a /real/ hard drive.

That is, actually all the files on the disk are in a flat structure with a number to indicate which directory they are supposed to be in. So to find a file in a directory you actually have to search every single file on the disk to see whether it's in that directory. At least if you have records it stands some chance of being efficient. imc
