According to Charles Sandmann:

Yes, FreeDOS does support 4GB (less two bytes or thereabout) files on
FAT32. (However there are a bug somewhere as the program never stopped
trying to write to the file. I had to C-c it. However I have no time
to dig into this.)

Furthermore I have no problems creating files on a Linux Samba share
from either MSDOS 6.22 with MS TCP/IP or DOS COMMAND.COM window in
WINDOWS 98. I didn't create a 4GB file here as there isn't room for it
on my Samba share. However this shows that Charles's (or his bug
reporter's) bug is WINDOWS (I don't remember which version(s) he
mentioned) file server specific. In that case it was impossible to
open the file (right?).


Right,
