For FAT systems there's no way of getting around the 2Gb limitation.

For FAT32 systems your files can be up to 4Gb, but not all applications
properly handle files of that size. If you find particular applications
having problems with files over 2Gb then look for a newer version, or a
different application.

I am not aware of a problem transferring large files, but it's possible that
there is some component in the network that is misinterpreting the file size
information and reporting an invalid negative file size. Try a different
copy procedure. Or use a file splitter application to split the file,
transfer it and put it back together on the local PC.

I don't have a problem with the memory. I fact, I use those and other
tweaks
after a reintall or on a new disc install.
What I am refering to is the limitation of files size for a particular
file.
For instance, I found the old black and white move "The Giant Gila
Monster"
which is open domain and has no copyright owner any more by the way, LOL,
on
the Internet Archive site.
I downloaded it fine, but I can do nothing with it as it is 3.1 GB in
size.
When I attempt to transfer it over my network at home from the file server
to the PC I use video software on, it is not recognized as a valid file
"The
File Parameters are incorrect" error window comes up. The file size
reported
is -1142278140 bytes.
What I was asking, is if there has been a fix to let Win98 deal with
individual files over the 2GB or so size.
