This limit is called the MEMLIMIT. If you do not set a       MEMLIMIT, the system default is 2G, meaning that the address space can use up       to 2G of virtual storage        above the bar. "                      You know, when I told IBM-MAIN how it would be possible to       double the amount of memory available to 32-bit applications,       I was told that applications don't need just double the amount       of memory, and they need to be (all of them, apparently),       converted to 64-bit so that they can access more than 4 GiB of memory.              Go figure.              Also, I thought the first 32 GiB or something was reserved for       Java use or something? How does that work with a 2GiB limit?              BFN. Paul.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
