that's a DOS limitation, though... unless you're running the 386 flavor and
then it increases... the OS/2 flavor is even larger... but ya know what? i
don't use FM at all any more... no need with TimED on that machine... then
again, i only look at that machine once every few weeks other than the logs
going by showing me all the MIRAI probes and infestation attempts...

my FE (fastecho) doesn't have problems on my bases... at least not yet...
maybe one day but at that time, sure, i'll renumber but on my terms... not an
autorenumber all the time... oh well...
