Regarding the internals of a QXL.WIN disk, I documented that at
http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/doku.php?id=qdosmsq:fs:qlwa there's a
table at the end with host file sizes and the resulting internal block size.

Sorry for my english, i badly explained myself ...
I wanted to understand if there are limits to creating files within a .win
file
The directory entry contains a file_length field, it is a 32 bit
longword. This allows for files to be up to 2^^32 -1 bytes in size, in
theory. It all depends if the internals of SMSQ etc deal in signed or
unsigned numbers.
2^^32 - is big! 4,096 Mb or 4 Gb.
