Sorry to say, but it will crash OS/2.  And I know what you are saying about 
the pointer.  Weird does not begin to describe it.  Actually, it can address 
32MB -1 byte.

The file that it can access.

You are correct according to the way things SHOULD work, but remember, 
DOS/4GW was written to run under pure DOS, not an OS/2 VDM.
