Ed,
>>>No single file can exceed 2GB.
>>I don't agree with the above statement...
>>As much as I know, Visual FoxPro does not impose a limit on the size of a .CDX file. On the other hand, the operating system in use and its file system may impose such a limit.
>>The NTFS file system of Windows NT has a file size limit of 2^64 bytes (16 exabytes...18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes!!!) However, underlying hardware limitations may impose additional partition size limitations in any file system. Particularly, a boot partition can be only 7.8 GB in size, and there is a 2-terabyte limitation in the partition table.
>I think I might have a clue about NT internals...although I haven't written an NT-compliant file system driver other than as an exercise. VFP is not the only language I work in, and I definitely spend at least as much time dealing with system internals as I do with application externals.
I know you do, But you're temper is playing again, isn't it ? If you were more complete in your answer you wouldn't have got this lesson.
