Subject: Maximum size for EGTBs

Author: Mike Hood

I understood from previous posts that the maximum file size for a 32-bit
operating system is 2 GB, and so 6-piece endgame tablebases larger than this
size have had to be split into smaller chunks. However, today I came across a
web page
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/default.asp?url=/WINDOWSXP/home/using/productdoc/en/choosing_between_NTFS_FAT_and_FAT32.asp
which claims that the largest file size for FAT32 is 4 GB. So why is the
splitting necessary for files smaller than 4 GB?
