It's not in the readme. It's in the the history file. My bad.

You are the first to do this. Everyone else seems to understand .org as
original when it comes to file names. At this point in time, not everyone
realized Mark Kimes wrote fm/2.
>The HISTORY file only says you switched; it doesn't give a reason.
I figured the proximity of the the switch and the reference to large files
should be enough to recognize the relationship.
>You do realize I'm still totally confused, yes?
Now I do.

For the same reason it happens to a lot of older code. The original
source code encoded file and directory sizes as 32-bit numbers. VAC3.65
support 64-bit longs integers, as does Watcom, so made correctly this
limitation easier. I could have rolled my own 64-bit bit support for
VAC3.08 and I actually had already done parts of this to repair a couple
of previously reported defects.
>You weren't typing an entire 4 GB file onto the screen, were you?
There's nothing to stop the viewer from doing this, although it would run
out of memory before it finished displaying everything.

It's at the bottom of your pile of to-be-installed software.
