When I try to gzip a large (4 GB) file, it creates the gzip file without any problem. However, gunzip complains of "CRC errors" during the decompression. I've heard this is because gzip's internal headers only store a 32-bit filesize, and hence has a 2 GB limit. Are there any compression/decompression tools that work with files greater than 2GB? -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
