Until 4.4BSD (with final fixing by the *BSD groups). Given the speed the "serious" unix vendors adopted the 4.3BSD modifications, you could expect ScoWare [*] to allow for > 2 GB file systems approximately in 2005. (The only exception are 64-bit machines, of course.) [*] ScoWare is the successor of UnixWare, which is the successor of SVR4, which is the succesor of SVR3.2, which is the succesor of other SVR's, which is the successor of System III, which is the successor of V7. (BSD is also a successor of V7, btw.) >:-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
