Guys,

Thanks for the insight into HPFS. I did not know how the file entries =
are laid out - no wonder it takes a long time!

Its a SCSI drive and I'm running Warp - could I upgrade the drive to =
HPFS386? I know the cache will need to be populated - i.e. slow first =
time. However, will a cache speed up reading the entries? The cache must =
be invalidated somehow - I assume by the file time stamp, and so will =
need to read these off the HD anyhow. Am I right?

Am I just staring an upgrade in the face? - i.e. A faster HD? / =
e-business ?

Thanks again, you guys are really helpful!

Peter
