100
in
the
filename
to
any
value
between
001
and 999
with the
Show
Info
option
on
the
GEM
Desktop
File
menu.
The
value
you
enter
is
the
number
of
folders
beyond 40 you can
now
access. For
example,
to
extend the
limit
to
240
folders,
you would
change
the filename
to
FOLDR200.PRG.
You
can
further
extend
the folder
limit
by
creating additional
copies
of
FOLDR100.PRG.
Each
additional
copy
of
the
program has
a
unique
name
and
represents a
multiple
of
the
number
in
the original
copy
of
the
program. For example,
to
extend
the
folder
limit
to
1240
(400
x
3
plus the
original 40),
you
could
enter
FOLDR400.PRG
AFOLDR.PRG
BFOLDR.PRG
All
FOLDR
programs must be
stored
in
the
AUTO
folder
of
the boot
disk
(partition
C
on
the
hard
disk
if
physical
unit
0
is
the
boot
disk).
The new
folder
limit
takes
effect
when
you
reboot your system.
During
the
boot procedure,
a
message
appears
that
shows
how many
extra
folders
you've designated
and
how many
bytes
of
RAM
are allocated
to
the extra folders
(each
folder
uses 132
bytes
of
RAM).
Backing
Up
Data
It's
important
to
frequently
back up your hard
disk data.
Otherwise,
files
that
are accidentally deleted
or
damaged
will
be
lost
forever.
As
a general
rule,
it's
good
practice
to
back up
new
or
modified
files
after
each
session
at
your computer.
To
back up
your
data, regularly
copy
important
files
or folders
onto floppy
disks
and
store
them
in
a safe
place.
In
addition
to
the
GEM
copy
option,
you can use one
of
the
many
hard
disk
backup programs
available
through your
Atari
dealer or Atari user's
group (see
Customer
Support).
Note:
For information
on
copying
files
and
folders,
see the
owner's
manual
that
came
with
your computer.
