Xenix 1 Meg file limit

[Robin Cutshaw]

This article refers to Xenix (286 3.0)...

    A major limitation of Xenix on the PC/AT is the 1 Megabyte file size
limit.  Only effective uid 0 may write files larger than this and the
function ulimit(cmd,newlimit) must be called with cmd=UL_SFILLIM from
<sys/ulimit.h> and newlimit is a long representing 512 byte blocks.  The
associated variable is u.u_limit (S3 u_limit was set to 5000 blocks).
    This is a major limitation for utilizing large databases.  IBM says
that this should be fixed soon.
