Introduction

Windows CE 3.0 supports larger data storage systems, and larger files within those systems.

• 
  The size of the object store has been increased to 256 MB (from 16 MB in Windows CE version 2.1). Individual files now can be as large as 32 MB and a database volume can be as large as 256 MB.
  
• 
  The number of objects that can be kept in the object store has been increased from 2¹⁶ (65,536) to 2²² (4,194,304). Because the allowable number of objects exceeds the number of available object identifiers, freed object identifiers will be reused for new objects, effective with version 3.0. However, an object identifier will not be reused for at least 16 object allocations.
  
• 
  Support has been added for querying VERSIONINFO resources to obtain version and language-support information from files.
