The ulimit utility can adjust many things, not just limiting the
amount of memory. Those two function are the equivilant of -l. What
I wasn't clear about though is this. No, there is no ulimit utility
for any windows system I've seen. Even Cygwin doesn't implement a
ulimit emulation. The concept are mostly nonexistent on a Win32
system. Ones that do exist are regulated by security profiles.
