I've run into a problem: my 'pure DOS' application needs to access and
modify the whole directory tree (created under Windows 98), including
directories more than 8 levels deep.  It seems pure DOS can't handle this at
all.

Is there any known workaround for this, or is it an inviolable limit?

Peter
