Just an idea:
Poke your data directly to memory and read (peek) into sequences
the currently working data (array as you said). I don't know if you can
allocate a 4 Gig chunck at once but there's ceratinly a way to do it
partialy. If you have to allocate several partial chunks you will need
a sequence conatince the "range" or "index" of the data stored in
each chunck. I can guarantee that that auxiliar sequence will be,
relativly speaking, small.

BTW The DOS version detection routine posted by Irv is 100% Jacques
work. I don't have Win98, someone can tell if it's DOS 8?
