That is not quite true. The file limit does not depend on Firebird or
any other software. It depends on the file system you are using. If
you use Firebird v1 or v2.1 (don't know if it still runs on windows
98), but you run it on a OS with limited file system, then you are
still limited. You will have to create a multi-file database.
