ISTR trying something like that previously when doing the dir3
changeover - I couldn't get it to work properly because parts of the
structure could not be easily discriminated and so both the v2 and
v3 count functions would return true because they were looking at
different locations in the structure due to the header size
differences.
In this case, because the structure itself doesn't have any child
dependencies and the format will always be considered a v2 directory
structure, I think what you propose should work. Did you test it
to see if it works?
Cheers,
Dave.
