IIRC, there was an attempt (by CWS?), circa 2.04 beta, to partially
support 4 GB files in FAT32 under Win9x. But I don't know how well
it was tested, and it might not have been worth it (too kludgy?
needs oddball DOS function calls? e.g. int 21h, 716Ch ??). It may
not even work at all under 2k/XP, dunno.

Besides, FreeDOS' FAT32 is limited to 2 GB per file anyways, not
sure about other implementations.

Anyways, we still have old real-mode WavPack DOS binaries from 2002.
However, if you think your port is stable enough, I'll mirror it to
iBiblio for FreeDOS and us, if you want.

P.S. FreeDOS 1.2 final is scheduled to be released in a week.
