Actually, it *is* technically possible to allocate and manage this memory if
it is available.
All Mem functions work with Long types and for a reason: the limitation of
allocating 64k is a high-level limit. The low-level memory functions of the
OS allow allocating bigger chunks...but it's your risk and responsibility to
manage them.

14400 records... When pz compress/decompress, it allocates an
array of RecordEntryType (8 bytes) or RsrcEntryType (10 bytes)
in dynamic heap. If it's a data database, 8 * 14400 = 112 kB,
which exceeds 64kB limit of a memory chunk...
