Why is there a limit?
It's an MS-DOS limit. The filesystem only can store a file 2^31 bytes long, because the it stores the file size as a 32 bit signed integer. What's interesting is that his stated limit is 258 bytes less than the maximum file size, and his stated maximum key size is 256 bytes. Makes a guy wonder just what's in that 258 byte header. - -- Roy M.
