IMO, fseek(,,2) should not return 0 on files that are over 2Gig, but it should return 2Gig or so. I am aware of the standpoint of the foxteam that there will be no support for files over 2Gig, but that's no justification for delivering functions that return false values on files over 2Gig, don't you think?!

Yes, I agree. It does not follow that supporting only 2GB or less justifies functions returning lies. Even an error condition would be more sensible than crap.

>>>Indeed, I have several problems currently, some related to files that are over 2Gig, others related to insufficient support for network mappings. For example, I just wrote the routine BetterDiskSpace(). This function also returns the amount of free bytes on a NETWORK MAPPING. The VFP diskspace() function only works fine for drive letters.
