Virtual memory for Icon won't help a lot, since it's a large-memory
model program, which limits its region sizes to 64K.  We've been
trying to get it to compile with the huge-memory model, but there
are all kinds of problems that we've not been able to fix.

There is a 386 32-bit protected-mode version of Icon that runs under
MS-DOS and requires extended memory.  It will use all the memory you
have, and then some.
