0 votes 0 votes Files in $MS-DOS$ have to compete for space in the $FAT -16$ table in memory. If one file uses $k$ entries, that is $k$ entries that are not available to any other file, what constraint does this place on the total length of all files combined?

If the collective lengths of the files are larger than the disc, then the disc will not have a place to store all the files on the disc. `JEET answered Oct 27, 2019 `JEET comment Share Follow See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
