According to the most recent doc I could find on java.util.zip,
setSize - even though it takes a 64-bit long (Java-style) as an
argument - throws an IllegalArgumentException "if the specified size is
less than 0 or greater than 0xFFFFFFFF bytes".
So it looks like it can't handle the "large files".
Cheers,
Bob
