From: George De Bruin 
Okay, to put this one to rest semi-quickly:
	TSE Pro 2.5 has a 64meg file size limit
	TSE Pro 2.8 is limited by the Windows Virtual Memory
As Chris explained, in order to use all of the VMS in 2.8, you will need
a large VMS area to work with.
Also, remember that with 2.5 there are depencies on the structure of the
file that is being edited.  For each line that is being edited at least
1K is allocated.  So, if you have a file that has lines of 80 bytes or
less, it is possible to run out of memory more quickly because for each
line there would be 944 bytes per line that wasn't being used.  (The
issue does get a little more complicated than this, but I think you get
the general idea.)
