RE: filmscanners: RE: Win2k and application RAM

I don't think this is right. There is a total 4GB adressable space,
including virtual memory. Some of this is probably reserved for the
operating system, probably reducing the maximum for the application to 2GB,
possibly 3GB. If I have time I'll look into this when I'm in the office

        The memory allocated by Win2k for each program is 4Gb,
which, I believe, includes virtual memory.
