I am using run>cmd in windows xp professional. The type command no longer seems to work on this file now that it exceeds 4GB. Only about 63000 lines are converted out of the 2 million plus.
How can I find out the type of coding that was used to create this file? Is there a way to do this other than just asking the person who created it? That is possible, but I was just curious.

Are you really running an old DOS operating system or are you starting a DOS box within a Windows variant? If the latter and you are using COMMAND to start the session you will hit the 4GB limit but if you use CMD (under Win 2000/XP/Vista) I think it should work as before. (Although MS may have been too clever for you and updated the type command to work with unicode!) Worth a try...
