If that's true -- and that's remarkable news to me -- then an exploitable
benefit would be that the gigantic new (free) versions of the PCLEX
spellers, some as big as 3.3Mb, could be swapped around without
triggering memory conditions. Interesting that she mentioned this a useable
by Orbis; my understanding has always been that it was only exploited by the
spellers. So -- what else might use it?
