   IIRC, it is 2gig or something like that... i use it here, too... in all my DOS   
   side ops... it does work but not always... for example, i have the original   
   allfix universal which runs mostly from my DOS side but it has problems with   
   the disk sizes on my destination drives and reports not enough space for a lot   
   of stuff... even with 2gig in place... after fighting it quietly for several   
   years, i finally found a workaround via a command line parameter that seems to   
   handle it... i've not tried converting that particular bit of my system's   
   processing to the OS/2 side, though... as it was, i had to move all of my   
   allfix processing to my midnight maint due to another problem with my netmail   
   area and "file in use" conflicts that shouldn't have been happening...   
      
   anyway... [searching] ahhh... here it is!

   ==============================================   
   2GBFIX is a workaround for a problem that   
   occurs in DOS and WIN-OS/2 sessions under OS/2   
   (and possibly other OSes that provide virtual   
   DOS sessions) when you have disks or   
   partitions that exceed 2 GB (2048 MB) in size.   
      
      
      
   it is FREQable from my system via POTS or FTN over Telnet... or one can POTS   
   dial or telnet in to the bbs proper and download it... then there's also my   
   web and ftp servers which also have it available... choose your poison ;)
