- Files may be larger than the available address space.
This problem (Large file support) was mentioned in our "Technical Discussion" section. In this case a "mapping windows" may be implemented that would map parts of a file into memory. There are a lot of implementatin issues with this right now, but I guess this would be a much better way than implementing it without MMF. However, only after implementing both MMF emulation and "mapping windows" we will be able to say wich is better. this takes time though...
