Standard use of subdirectories

In the creation of files, it is important to maintain files and subdirectories at reasonable sizes. Ideally, there should only be a single chapter per file and one Bible book per subdirectory. In this way, processing time will be greatly improved and the risk of data loss reduced. The following chart explains the recommended organization of hard and floppy disks used for a Bible translation project. On a hard disk system, all the subdirectories should be kept in a subdirectory named by the abbreviation of the language being translated. (i.e., LANO for the example given). This structure divides the Bible into seven working directories, each containing approximately 1 MByte (or 1 million characters). Thus, for many languages, these seven working subdirectories can easily be backed up on corresponding floppy diskettes using XCOPY. It is also supported by the CATP software currently available within the Region.
