>>>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.

>That's wonderful, but have you ever had the luxury of having this amount of disk free space before? Try allocating some huge dummy files to pull your free space on the drive down to a number that FPDOS can work with; it may fix your problem.

In progress as we speak ( virtually speaking )
