I understand that it is limited to 512K. This from a friend who
had to edit a 1.5MB database, of which 1MB vanished upon exiting
WS. Apparently, the convention for handling files over 512K
involved a different section of the directory entry, and WS
didn't (and probably still doesn't) know about it.

I used to use Vedit; it was supposed to handle a file half the
size of the drive (had to create the temp file....).
