Yep - it has to do with how the DISKSPACE() function is implemented in FPDOS and FPW; ythe number returned is a 32 bit integer; in the case of FPDOS, it wraps around; FPW actually reports negative values above 2GB.

With Novell volumes, I've used the ability for the operating system to limit the available disk space for the user to work around the problem in the past; I'm not certain how to deal with this in a pure DOS environment, or with local drives running under Win9x.
