As the number of files in your WORDPROC and SPDSHEET directories grows, you can create additional directories subordinate to those two-like this, for example: Root directory WORDPROC DOS BUSINESS PERSONAL SPDSHEET I SALES PROJ This structure would let you segregate your business word processing files from your personal word processing files and your sales spreadsheets from spreadsheet files used for financial projections. Your directory structure may be as simple as this example or it could be much more complex. Organize your disk(s) to suit your own needs, and you can always delete old directories and create new ones as your needs change. Here are some additional points to note about directories: In the root directory, the total number of files and subdirectories must not exceed 512 on a hard disk and 224 on a 1.2MB diskette. All directories other than the root directory can have any number of files and subdirectories, as long as there is space on the disk. Subdirectories are named the same way files are. The name can include as many as eight characters, and you can add an extension of up to three characters. The root directory does not have a name. It is identified by the backslash character: \ . Diskettes have root directories, just as hard disks do, and you can create subdirectories on diskettes the same as on hard disks. Using MS-DOS With Your Computer 4-17
