This message is a bit confusing (to me), but if you are talking about any 
kind of file, including subdirectories, then ProDOS has a limit of, I think, 
57 IN THE VOLUME DIRECTORY ONLY.  I don't think that has ever changed, and 
probably won't.  I don't know what the limit is in 
subdirectories, but I've never reached that limit.  AppleWorks did (still 
does?) have a limit on the number of files it can handle in a 
subdirectory, but it's now quite large too.
