I have an application which writes large amounts of data 
to a disk file. At times the file tends to exceed the disk 
partition, resulting the application to crash.  Is there a 
way to span the output file across different disk partitions 
(which may be on the same or seperate physical disks) ?

Application is in C and Fortran running under Unix (SunOS 4.0.3).

thanks in advance,
-Anil.
