I've drifted away from Apple Pascal over the past few years, but these
discussions bring back memories :-)  Using Apple Pascal with a 10Meg Sider
the 77 file limit really limits one, so I wrote a device driver and support
pgms to "mount" files as "volumes".  Remember, it is possible to save a
volume image as a file.  So I made files that were images of variable sized
volumes, and would mount these pseudo-volumes as needed and so had several
hundred actual files on my drives.  I updated the routines a little for
pascal 1.3 so it worked on 3.5 drives and my Vulcan 40meg drive.

Does anyone really use Apple Pascal 1.3 so much that they would be interested
in the routines?  I think I still have them somewhere.  You need the device
driver support tools to use them too.  In hindsight, I'm not sure I ever put
a pascal partition on my vulcan HD, so I don't know about supporting the
Vulcan.
