I was hoping someone more specifically knowledgeable would answer, but haven't seen anything, so here goes: 2147483647 is 2^31-1, so I'd have to suspect that this is the result of using a signed 4-byte int type for the size. Since (on the Linux system I just checked) sizeof(int) and sizeof(long) are both 4 bytes, this is probably a result of not going to special trouble to allow anything bigger. -- - Dave Lovelace [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
