TRLOG better trace parsing under 32bit Windows operating system

Toolkit TRLOG is unable to parse large trace files over 100MB due to heap storage restrictions on a Windows 32bit workstation.
The maximum heap allowed is 1GB, however the lpex editor requires 800MB storage to process a 100MB .report trace file so often fails right after downloading the file from TPF.
This RFE is to reduce the memory requirements of the Toolkit lpex editor so that large TRLOG files can be analyzed on a 32bit environment where a maximum of 1GB heap is available.

    IBM does not intend to implement this. There is no option for 32 bit Java with TPF Toolkit 4.6 or the Java runtime itself. Also, the future direction is to not use the LPEX editor at all for trace log.
