Hallo allemaal,


I'm trying to implement subdirectories. The idea I have in mind works as it 
is used in CBM-HD as well. But implementing it is the problem. 
What I need to know is how I can create a file on the disk. I managed to 
create an entry in the directory But I need almost the whole day for it :( 
And even then I'm don't know why it works now. 
There is a block allocated. But the directory needs to be updated with the 
size of the file (in this case just 1), where does that happen?
I have to fill this block with data. I have a routine called WriteSector 
and that one needs somewhere the variable JOBNUM as entry. When saving 
files from the outside, this variable is set somewhere. But now I'm working 
from the inside.

Of course I know some ways to fill the block anyway but I'm afraid they are 
dirty ie. I run the risk messing up the system.

The point is, I lack quite some knowledge here. Maybe one of you may have 
some samples of sources around that does all these kind of tricks within 
the 1541. You understand that these are very welcome!
