This stuff was written back in the DOS days when DoubleSpace first came out. I had a couple of user who installed it, and lost tables, when some other Fox programs crashed, and they gave the computer the old "three finger salute". Basically, I was trying to keep the same thing from happening to my stuff.

OK, it was a must with 40M disks, but nowadays nobody can guess what will grow faster, data or disks, so knowing orders of magnitude at design time is surely as essential as it was back then.
