> >I cannot create files larger than 4GB with GCC/DJGPP. > >Is it possible ? There is always a solution. What filesystem do you have ? NTFS ?? Win XP ? :-( :-( 4 GB is a limitation of FAT32, not directly of DJGPP. You will never be able to have files >4GB on FAT32. BUT: - Do you really need so huge files ? Can't you split them (f.ex. pieces of 1GB ?) - If you DEFINITELY NEED FILES >4GB, there would be 2 methods: - A DOS plugin suporting NTFS ( :-( ) or LINUX ( maybe :-) ) partitions, then there would probably be a possibility to work with files >4GB - Bypass DOS, code your own NTFS ( :-( ) or LINUX ( maybe :-) ) structure routines, access the partition by sectors (similar to some disk editors), and your great file manager or what WILL ACCESS NTFS ( :-( ) or LINUX ( maybe :-) ) partitions, it WILL SUPPORT files >4GB, and this using FreeDOS 1.0 without any plugins, and even MS-DOS 6.22 or 5 !!! :-)
