Unfortunately, I can't find any reference to this on the web. I've found that the top and bottom 64 kB are reserved, but no mention of larger amounts. Can you point me to a reference where this is explained or discussed?

I seem to have filed my Windows programming books
under "I don't ever want to read these again" so I can't find
the exact reference.

ISTR that it was in the Microsoft Press book about
programming Windows system calls. I used it years ago to help
with the fthreads module. Title was something
like _Advanced Windows Programming_ or close. Also,
it was the edition for WinNT 4 or so.

Sorry not to be more specific.
