Fat32 has an absolute limit of 2Gb on any file. Even if you get it to work this 'mod' wil be unplayable on anything but Win 2000/XP systems using NTFS.

He said 7000 kb. 2Gb = 2,000,000 kb, so he's got some components to add before he breaks Win9x file size compatibility.

Oops, got confused by all the constant switching of abbreviations and other shorthand notations. 7 Mb is still a very large components file.

Its not that big. Adamant has just 5 paradigms and has a 5.6 MB file.

Add in some basic tech grids, the components file explodes.

Actually, it is Fat16 that has a 2gb limit; Fat32 goes all the way to 4gb. A patched/service packed Windows 95/98 should be able to use Fat32, though I'm not sure if support for these partitions is actually standard on those OS.
