Of course if you already have an order in which you want to write the
files then skip the sort and the arrays and hold current "source" and
"allocated" files lists together with a variable of space remaining and
of the current sub-folder name. When you fill a CD (sub-folder) then
clear the allocated list, increment the numeric tail of the sub-folder
name and keep going. Look up "repeat for each" to run through your
source list efficiently. I assume you will want to allocate a few KB to
write out your list of allocated images onto the same CD.
