Andy,
I don't quite agree here.
The file-size limit is 2 billion records. This limits the number of records to 1 billion records, since a record can't have less than 2 bytes. See the part of a previous message, below.
In actual practice, of course, you will never have records that small.

>>Actually, the max. records is 1 billion, that being a 1-byte record plus the deleted flag. Makes for lots of dupes.
