- Roland, the maximum size a memory object can be under OS2 2.0 is
- 512 MB, *NOT* 4gb. Max size of a segment on a 386 *IS* 4gb,
- but, the operating system will only allow 512megs max per mem
- object...... If you don't believe me, its thoroughly documented
- in Redbook vol 1, which is available from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
