You're probably referring to such items as File Handles and GDI resources. While
NT is not without some limits, those limits are not an issue for 99.999% of
users, especially those running Workstation. Unlike WinXX, NT was built from the
ground up as a 32 bit OS and each process runs within its own virtual machine
with each machine having a unique pool of goodies. There are many, many other
differences from direct addressing range (2gig vs 16k) to the NT file system.
Also, NT can run any 16 bit process in it's own virtual machine (NTVDM) so that
failure in one 16 bit process does not bring down the others e.g. I run Ensign
(real-time) in its own its own NTVDM and all other 16 bit processes in another
NTVDM so that a failure in another 16 bit process will not bring down Ensign. In
short, NT is nothing less than an industrial strength OS.
BTW what's the story with the change to the list address i.e. the "mx2." in
"omega-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"?
