Hi everybody! Some time ago there wasn't any possibility to create disk file larger than 2G and there was no problem with lseek(). But as for now we can do it but I looked into headers and found off_t is equal to long -> no more than 2G on i386 machines. As far as lseek() is a system call I cannot believe it cannot be used with larger files but how? Maybe it's a silly question? :0) Alex
