 DESCRIPTION-

        The maximum partition size that OS/2 Warp (all versions) can
        handle is 64GB (Giga-Byte).

        Windows NT, Novell, Linux, Unix can handle Partitions in the
        Tera-Byte range.

        Given the nature of software programs and the size of some
        data-bases, it is important that Warp be able to meet the
        demand.

        Also, there is a maximum limit of 2GB file size using the DOS
        API.  This too should also be increased.
