- I'm interested in this idea. In order for me to be happy the OS must
- provide advanced virtual memory (essentially equivalent to mmap in SysVR4)
- or else it's dreck. Also, I don't cross the street unless the capability
- of dynamic loading (which is more useful than dynamic linking) is explicitly
- supported. I'm getting pretty cramped in the 32 bit address space, so will
- Windows NT make me happy?
-
- I.e. Does Windows NT support dynamic loading, memory mapped files and
- will there be a 48/64 bit version before 1996?

- Later,
