2gb each or 2gb total? Depending on the hardware you have available either should be possible. You'll definitely need to use cache files (http://www.analog.cx/docs/cache.html) and will probably need to use *LOWMEM command (http://www.analog.cx/docs/lowmem.html). With some tricky scripting you can actually use subsequent *LOWMEM runs to build a full report in parts, if needed. > Does anyone have any idea what is the next step up from analog?

AFAIK there is no open-source or free software package that is more powerful than Analog. Although recent reports have implied that Webalizer might handle large files better in some situations. So as not to advertise, I won't mention commercial packages on the list, but contact me personally if you want any recommendations. -- Jeremy Wadsack Wadsack-Allen Digital Group +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
