Windows 2000 2 GB file limit

Re: Accessing the "too-large" file.

If you have Perl on your system (or get it) you might be
able to write a script using its "truncate" function to
shorten the file to some multiple of the filePro logical
record length that's less than 2 GB.  I'm a Perl novice,
but it might be possible in binary mode to read and write
the first x-number of bytes into one file and then the
rest of them into another file.

Also, you might use the UNIX "dd" to read the file and
write x-number of one file, then use it to read the file
and skip that number of bites before writing the balance
to another file.  I can send you a CD with UNIX Utilities
and a shell on it (including the processing table I call
from a filePro User Menu to execute the shell).
