Well, that's still ten times more than 64K, isn't it?!    ;-)
Of course, I should have said 64M, not 64K, in my previous post.

WRT Kedit, perhaps this thinks that you can't have more than
64M, so if it detects more, it assumes the memory is being
misreported and, for safety, assumes only 640K is available?
