I find that statement a bit hard to believe. What do you base that on? I don't think it's necessarily going to be Delphi.NET, but I'd have thought C# would account for way more than single digits. Oh yeah, that and Cobol.NET... Cheers, C. -Original Message- From: Neven MacEwan

Hi Nahum We have used Lzh archiving with TCompLha from [EMAIL PROTECTED] who frequents these groups. It works great although I have not tried it on 9GB of data. Isn't there an OS issue in relation to 2GB + files (like you cant have them). Not sure if this is only applies to Win 9x or also the

Thanks for the info. The test data that I quickly grabbed has a 1.8gb file in it - and that's considered medium-large. Unfortunatly that seems to rule LHA out. So i've started testing abbrevia (orginally from TurboPower). Currently hunting thru my PC for a 2GB file. Cheers, Nahum.

Hi Richard I see that you are catching up with your emails at the moment. I just wondered if you could confirm that there is a bug in the BDE (all versions) that causes it to incorrectly report the amount of free disk space with drives that have over 2GB free space. We recently encountered this

Given that Microsoft isn't enhancing the Win32 platform except through .NET, This week anyway. I would say the only way to go would be 64 bit and who knows (I haven't heard anything, except for the C++ platform). I would say 64bit is definitely the way to go. The hassle is that only C++
