	Bull.  GS/OS is the _OPERATING SYSTEM_.  It has no direct correlation
to the disk format itself.  I'm being too lazy to look up the info, but I 
presume that the max block # is a long, which would thus be 4 gigabytes.

	Because of the wonderfulness of GS/OS, the literal disk format is 
taken care of with FSTs which understand a certain API which then actually
talk to the device drivers, which do the actual reading/writing.  Anyway,
GS/OS in no way has 32 megabyte _anything_.
