Re: working with datafile > 2Gb in HadHat 7.3

OK. I stand corrected. You do need third party tools though. But I suppose engineers can always hack their way through hardware limitations to make thing work. Like the >4GB memory limit of intels - this is not more since I believe Windows 2K and XP have this feature(in software?) where it can access greater than 4GB memory..
