Not any more.  Version 6.3 ('m not sure about 5.X versions) now support 
objects greater than 64K.  Amazingly enough, the speed does not seem to
be changed much...although I added a V20 and an 8087 at the same time.
BTW, updates and patches are FREE from the STSC bulletin bboard.  I upgraded
from 6.0 to 6.3 for about $5.00 in phone calls.
