What does FAT mean to you; FAT12, FAT16, FAT32,
or File Allocation Table?

Good luck getting a 4GB file on FAT12 or FAT16.
Actually can't put a 4GB file on FAT32 either,
the maximum file size is 4,294,967,295 bytes.

Again, close but not accurate. It is a limitation of any program that
does not support integer types larger than 32 bits.
