However, the updated 32-bit version of SparkFS no longer contains
all the additional modules that I had in the version I originally
purchased, and obviously the PackdDir file from the original
Modules directory (which is actually an Absolute file and not a
module) is not itself 32-bit compatible and doesn't work with
SparkFS 1.44, even if I try registering it to run as a module under
Aemulor.

Mine still does.
I have SparkFS 1.46, and this has PackdDir 1.44 (08 Feb 2018) within its modules directory which is "32-bit ready".

The PackdDir module in my version of SparkFS claims to be v. 1.44 (8
Feb 2016) and is a module according to Zap, etc. If that is correct,
surely that is 32 bit at least. I have never used PackdDir or have
any files obviously so cannot test it. It certainly loads on this
ARMX6 without complaint and is listed in the active module list.
David P is the person to ask.

Interesting - I had an archive of SparkFS 1.46 in my downloads
directory, but the version actually on disc was 1.44 with a minimal set
of modules. Possibly/probably the one that was distributed by R-Comp as
part of the hard disc image. I've replaced that with the version I'd downloaded earlier, and can confirm that (once I'd remembered to enable loading of the PackdDir module!) it does indeed allow me to view the
insides of PackDir archives.
Although I think it would still be safer to continue extracting them!

If you're on SparkFS 1.44, then you *really* need to update your disc
image. I'm fairly sure that even 5.28 from last year has the updated
1.46 included, which has a some significant stability fixes in it.
If you want more than the read only version or the three modules that
it includes, then you need to make your own arrangements with David
Pilling to obtain the full read-write SparkFS (which presumably you
have already done).
