Hi Steve, Use the filepeek verb, it is in the Universe bin directory (I presume this is unix as filepeek does not exist on windows (AFAIK)). Run this and look at the header information, it will tell you either 32 or 64 bit file. I also have a magic file (thanks to Glenn Herbert) that tells me from the files command at the unix prompt. I will publish this if you need it.

Try to use the verb uvfixfile -f filename from Unix. It will complain that the file is 64 bit. 2. Use the STATUS statement in Basic. Note - this is not the same as the STATUS() function. This is the way that I do it. Write a little program that reads next from a list of file names, opens each file in turn and then use the status statement to return a dynamic array of info about the file. If attribute 32 is 5, the file is 64 bit. Do a HELP BASIC STATUS to get the full syntax. hth, asvin.

We are pretty sure that we have resized them using the 64 bit option. However, just to make sure, how may we determine if the file is indeed using 64 bit addressing.
