ulimit considered braindamaged ?

[Bill Wyatt]

Just to add my two cents: I have only used bsd/Ultrix systems, and never
realized this file size limitation existed in Sys5. It may have seemed 
reasonable at one time, but in my applications (astronomical image
processing), it would be FATAL. A typical data file for me is 1/2 Mbyte,
many are from 1 to 8 Mbytes. Some people in my group have 128 Mbyte files,
and these are by no means the largest I know of.
