Mapping is all done with cd calls to standard host facilities. The jmf
script utilities have not been updated to allow mapping files with more than
2^31 bytes. I am quite sure that this is a fairly simple change to the
script, but have not had time to look at it.
Soon after j602 is released I will take a look at this. I am quite confident
that simple J coding changes will allow larger mappings with J64. These
changes will then be distribute with a JAL library update. Or an
enterprising user could sort things out and provide the fixes back to the
community.
I would strongly recommend a 64 bit system.

Subject: [Jgeneral] If I upgrade to a 64-bit machine
I am unclear on what things will and won't change if I get a 64-bit
machine.
In particular,
Will functions in the files library be able to deal with files with
more than 2^31 bytes?
Will I be able to have mapped files representing J objects larger than
2^31 bytes?
