- Don't know what others have done, but I've managed to get mine up to 12-13 Mb
- by using WorkFrame/2 on a 6Mb system. I've also managed to get it all the way
- up to 36Mb, but that was by provocation. I tried to sort a 15Mb array of words
- (No, I didn't complete the sort, I just wanted to test the system a little).
