Hm.  Well, I downloaded John's desktop, his Pacific C resource construction
set, Pacific C, and I put them all on one place.  I opened the Desktop PRJ
file, and I thought to myself...hm...let's see if it compiles.  Errors.
Does it make?  Errors.  Argh.  Sobs.  So begins the darkness.

The most files I have in one place is 393, so perhaps John's desktop suffers
from the same limitation.  It's impossible for me to say.  John?

PS: I am going to play with Pacific C, but I have no idea what I am doing.
You know the thing about Monkeys, typewriters, and Shakespeare?  Ditto.
Only I'm not going to be the monkey with Macbeth.
