Hi Viraj,
Have you tried ULIMIT=5000000 in the /etc/default/login file? That would
allow you to access files up to about 2.5GB in size with ulimit high enough
to solve your current problem. It's been a while since I worked with
Unixware, but I think it does support large file (over 2GB).
A korn shell is sometimes referred to as a posix shell as most newer
versions of ksh conform to the POSIX standards. Some UNIX versions have
'psh' linked to 'ksh' or just a copy of 'ksh' (IBM AIX for example).
HTH,
