A few VP/ix questions...

I would like to load many files/directories into the C: drive (the one
that is stored as DOS drive image in a Unix file).  A DIR of C: shows
that it has approx. 10 meg of capacity.

Question #1: What is the reason for this 10 meg limit?

Question #2: Is there any way around it?

Question #3: What are the relative disk access speed implications of
             accessing files on:

	1. C: (the drive image as a Unix file)
	2. A DOS filesystem mounted under Unix
	3. A drive designated as /dev/dsk/0p0 in vpix.cnf

I am aware that additional drive images may be used in the same way
that C: is used, but I would like have all the files I need stored on
the C drive.

Thanks!

-Bob
