the 4GB problem could be solved with Exec Extended Memory

Certainly not "solved"; more like, "alleviated".

Perhaps the developer documentation is simply too difficult to understand. Or perhaps people have already tried it and failed.

No no no, it's actually very easy to use! I got it working in Rave without much hassle. Any developer can contact me if they'd like to give ExtMem a try.

Whether an application can benefit from ExtMem is another question. Basically, it's good for storing any data that doesn't need to be accessed at a given time, or very frequently. Like undo data, for example. Or game assets not used in the current level.

Is there a simple test case or test program that uses this function?

I would like to see more than the usual limited 2 GB of AmigaOS 4.1 being used. Maybe someone could write a small test program with ExtMem support.

We are straying from the actual topic, and I apologize, but Exec Extended Memory is really interesting to me, and I wanted to learn more about it.
