Any - ideas? Thank in advance. - The limit in CorelSCSI! version 2 is : 1024 directories 65535 files 8 sub-directory levels These limits are per session. The Corel manual doesn't mention any limit on file size, however any file larger than the available memory buffer must be written from disk, and all the usual caveats apply to it -- fast disk, defragmented, no interruption, separate host adapter.
