My goodness you go a way back. The bug you mention was fixed a bit later, on 1997-11-29 according to the change logs. But it's working now, or should be. If you still have problems with the current version please let us know. > When I brought up the issue, I was told it was because I was running > on a 32-bit machine, and I shouldn't expect 32-bit pentium3 (and I > suppose pentium4 machines, now) to do 64 bit arithmetic No, if you have modern software it should work even with Pentium III. For example, it worked with my Pentium III box at home, until that box finally died a couple of months ago. 32-bit machines like that might be a bit slower at doing 64-bit arithmetic, but they're still plenty fast enough for "dd". _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
