Reading Very Large files

Chriis,
I think Arne is right. Most likely inside FGetS2 the runtime uses a 32 bit offset in a file that is 6 Gb. That will result in an overflow with unexpected results.

Hey, that was my first thought, too, but I was too timid to voice it... Thanks for confirming

Arne, Robert,

Ah, I am sorry, I completely misread Arne's message! I thought it was about memory size, while it was about file pointers. Summer here is not a good time for the brain to work

Of course it makes sense what you guys say, hadn't thought about this.
