For all practical purposes that's built into the way the drive is organized,
e.g. sectors, clusters, Fat allocation etc. etc. Fat32 does have some limits
and it's generally imposed under 9x versions. Note one must say generally
because you can read larger files over a network etc. usually with no
problem.

If I believe some file will exceed this limitation, I first insure the app
creating/saving the file doesn't impose it's own "logic" onto the situation,
e.g. running under 9x so file can't be 2gb even though it's being saved to
a network NTFS drive. I then either run the app under XP & NTFS if that's
the problem or save it from the 9x box to an NTFS drive.

BTW - wanna see negative numbers, copy a DVD to your hard drive under 9x and
see how long it says it'll take .

Hi, as I am sure you guys know, W98 has problems with file sizes over 2GB.
Has there ever been a workaround or other fix?
