I've downloaded the program you suggest. How does it work?

First of all make a copy or several copies of your original il2fb.exe files (or whatever the startup files are called). Don´t forget TO MAKE A COPY. Just in case.

Then run the program as described in the readme.txt or notes ... The program will modify the exefile so that it can take advantage of more memory.

You won´t notice much when you startup Il2 map maker, EXCEPT that you will be able to open large sized static.actors files that are larger than 500-700k. You will be able to open all sized actors files, 3, 5 7 10mb sized files without the map maker crashing. And you will be able to save them as well.

On top of that, you will be able to open and close as many maps in sequence as you wish. With the old exe file, you could hopefully open one map, copy whatever you wanted to and open another map. And that would be it. Try to open another map again and wham - a crash. This mod prevents all that and lets you work in a more normal manner.
