Hi
It is very important to me - what is the limitation on Win 2000 Pro/Win 2000
Server/Suse/Readhat etc?
I must decide VERY soon what we are going to do for a client of mine.
Thx
Johan

Then it's not an OS limitation, but a FB limitation. And, an error in
Helen's book, since she mentioned the limitation for external file
size on NTFS is 4GB. But, I'll not hold her accountable, since it
depends where she got the information. Although, I think the
limitation should be dealt with.
