A WinNT program must have special support to be able to handle large
files. Don't expect microsofts own programs to have this support :-)
Also, the smb network filesystem do not support anything larger than 4 GB.
If you mount a disk greater than 4 GB, it will only show up as a 4 GB
disk. If you mount it from Win 3.11 it will only be 2 GB.
But the point is, if a program needs to handle large files, like a SQL
database, it can do it and it works.
