I am just building MySQL 3.23.7 for Win32; This will not have the 4G
limit on NT anymore.
Tonu should also relatively soon be ready with his patch that will
enable MySQL to have bigger data files than 2G on 32 bit Linux (A
large datafile can be splitted into many sub files)

Monty
PS: Sorry for the late reply; I am still trying to catch up with the
mails that piled up during my vacation.
