Large files on the Unix PC

The documentation for the UnixPC says that there is a 1 Meg limit on the
size of files.  I have used files that are larger than this.
The largest was about 1.4Meg.  Does anyone know what the real limit is?
Am I playing with fate by having files of this size?
I thought that Unix files were able to be much larger than this.
What is it about the UnixPC that makes a limit like this?
