I'm wondering, seriously, where do we find the distinction? Single-level store uses 64-bit addressing, plus some extra bits, right? You discuss this in your eBook. But, in a way, EVERYTHING is handled with 16meg segments at the SLIC level. User spaces, a very handy construct in XPF, can automatically grow to that limit. Data files are built up from multiple dataspace segments. We don''t generally have access to assembler - level stuff (except as you describe using Display/Alter in SST) I don't think even the 400 is truly segment-free, although Storage Management hides the details. But the term segment turns up all over in PEX, with SAR (segment address resolution), etc. Even teraspace is probably allocated with requests to Storage Management for contiguous segments. Anyway... Back to Hollerith cards, eh? :-) At 07:02 PM 3/21/02 -0600, you wrote: >ahm, it is only ONE terabyte (2^40 bits), 16 million times >smaller than the 64-bit address.
