MS-DOS

The maximum number of files allowed in the root directory of a CD-ROM disc is unlimited (that is, it is limited by the ISO 9660 file system specification). The restriction imposed by the file allocation table (FAT) file system is not in effect. However, you should try to keep this number small, as suggested in the “CD-ROMifying your MS-DOS Application” document included in the Microsoft MS-DOS CD-ROM Extensions Information Packet.
