  Windows (at least 9x) can only create a file of 4 Gigabytes at max. However,
it can only open a file of 2 Gigabytes at max, so 2GB is the practical maximum
file size. Linux has similar limitations (although I think they can be
overridden by writing a special program which uses 64-bit file handlers or so).

  Also certain file formats have a maximum resolution limitation of
65535x65535 pixels as they use 16-bit values for specifying the resolution.
