SUMMARY
It has been reported that on the Commodore Colt IBM-compatible computer, a disk can have a maximum of 112 files in any directory. On most machines, 255 files are normally allowed in the root directory, and the number allowed in a subdirectory is only limited by available disk space.

This limitation can result in error 67, &quot;Too many files.&quot;

This information applies to QuickBasic Versions 2.00, 2.01, 3.00, 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50, Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2, and Microsoft Basic PDS Version 7.00 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.

This is a problem in the ROM BIOS of the Commodore Colt computer and not a problem with QuickBasic. Contact Commodore Business Machines Customer Support at (215) 436-4200 for information regarding the availability of a correction.
