Many common tape image tools as of two decades use 32-bit integers to carry
offsets around and will be limited to 4Gigabyte tape image sizes.
I don't think this is a fundamental limit to the tape image formats used by
SIMH, just a common limitation of the tape image tools you might find from
20 years ago.
