Would it make you feel any better if I told you I had it running in 64 bit
mode under Alpha/Linux, and am working on 64-bit Sparc/Solaris?
 
I have no plans to make any changes to released DOS versions. The primary
reasons being that I have no interest in doing so, do not own a suitable
development platform, and have very little experience coding under DOS,
Windows, or OS/2.
 
That said, some enterprising soul may be able to get my version to run
under djgpp, cygwin, or EMX. But it won't be me. There exists a vague
possibility that I might do a native Win32 version, but that won't be for a
long, long time. Getting this stuff working under UNIX is far more
important to me.
 
However, I appreciate you pointing out the limits in the older products; I
need to make a checklist of "limits to remove". Message size
limits are a big one; I firmly believe I should be able to handle messages
which are at least half as big as the amount of virtual memory available.
One limit I will not be removing is the node number limit (255), as that
will break many third-party utilities.
