I have used files that are larger than this. type ulimit at a UNIX prompt. This returns the user limit in 512 byte blocks. A Super user can raise this by 'ulimit 20480000', but a normal user cannot. The kernel could be configured with a different number for MAXFSIZE in /etc/master. You might be able to change it in a file called /etc/icode. I'm not sure if icode is recognized on your level of OS. Try this on a bootable floppy: /etc/icode: ulimit 128000 exec /etc/init -- Clarence A Dold - cdold@starfish.Convergent.COM (408) 434-2083 ...pyramid!ctnews!professo!dold MailStop 18-011 P.O.Box 6685, San Jose, CA 95150-6685
