2 gig filesize limiation...C++ Builder Version 6.0

[quincy451]

Ok my OS is windows 2000 professional. My file system is FAT32. NTFS
would be better but I seem to remember this issue being the same on
that file system as well.

I am using win32 function CreateFile(); to open my file. I am using
the win32 function WriteFile(); to write to the file.

The problem I am having is that the filesize seems to be limited to 2
gig. I am growing and growing this file as a sscii log file. But at 2
gig it just stops growing. What might be up???

Thanks,
David

Only people in the newsgroup for your OS could tell. Try

news:comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32

.. Best of luck!

I recently had a discussion in other newsgroups about some problem of
mine. One answer that I got may help you:

I know the FAT32 filesize limit to be 4gig not 2gig which is what I am
seeing.
So I can not account for that.

And yet, as Victor has pointed out, this is not the newsgroup to discuss it.
Please ask your question in a forum/newsgroup/support line dedicated to your
compiler or operating system. Thank you!
