2^64 Bytes equal to the largest possible partition size.

2^64 Bytes are about 16,7 Million TerraBytes :). I think that should be large
enough for the next few years.

16 EB a.k.a. two to the 64th power bytes

1024 GB = 1 Terabyte
1024 TB = 1 Petabyte (Pentabyte?)
1024 PB = 1 Exabyte

So damn big it won't be an issue any time soon IMO.

Enjoy!

Thanks Mats!

We have a vendor that has converted DOS applications to NT and claim a 2GB
limit.

I understand DOS limits the user to this, but the fact is that this vendor
has not REALLY converted the app to native NT!
