Hi Bob,
You are right - it is clearly wrong what I have written. Always read the
whole sentence before clicking send, especially after having changed
something in the middle :-)
I expect you to update the wiki with some details on your wonderful 64-bit
TAB format?
Regards
Uffe

Hi Uffe
I think your answer might be a bit unclear to some. I think you mean:
MapInfo even on NTFS has 2 GB limit - therefore the limit is with
MapInfo.
It might suggest to some that Windows itself with NTFS has a 2 GB limit.
I have created and used files up to 4 GB incidentally on FAT 32. You
need to use a 4 byte unsigned pointer, whereas MapInfo use a 4 byte
signed, therefore only getting half the range.
Hope you are well.
Regards
Bob

I think your analysis is correct.
I believe the numbers are as follows:
Max Tab file size: 2 GB (OS limit, not MapInfo)
It is a MapInfo limit, since even Windows with NTFS filesystem has the 2 GB
limit.
I tried to enter it into the Wiki: http://www.mapinfo-l.com/Wiki/TABFormat
