# patchlaa
extremely simple command line tool to patch PE32(+) executables to have the
[LAA (Large Address Aware)][laa] flag always set, allowing them to use the max
amount of ram addressible with the pointer width instead of 2GB. also known as
the "4GB patch" in some circles, but that only applies for 32-bit executables.
