[BBC-Micro] Counting Directory Entries in L3 Econet

Is there a call I can use to find out how many entries are in a
directory on Level 3 Econet?  I need something which will save multiple
files without encountering a Dir full error which can be left unsupervised.

So far I'm just counting the number of saves, but it's not foolproof because
it is assuming that I am starting with an empty directory (which might not
be the case) and also sometimes the same file is saved more than once.

What I really need is a way of finding out if the next save would cause an
error before it executes the command.

Best wishes,



Ian
