DESCRIPTION-
The maximum partition size that OS/2 Warp (all versions) can
handle is 64GB (Giga-Byte).
Windows NT, Novell, Linux, Unix can handle Partitions in the
Tera-Byte range.
Given the nature of software programs and the size of some
data-bases, it is important that Warp be able to meet the
demand.
Also, there is a maximum limit of 2GB file size using the DOS
API. This too should also be increased.
