I am not sure what you mean when you say "...D3 can only access files 2gig
and smaller?"
Certainly, there is no 2gb limit on D3 files themselves (I have many
instances of D3 files with modulos in excess of 1 million). Are you saying
that you can't read native OS files from inside D3 when those file(s) are
greater than 2gb?  I would not suggest trying to read an entire large file
into D3 this way. Have you tried the %open, %read functions to read and
process the file in reasonably sized chunks, say 10K at a time?  You can use
%write to build large files this way as well.
