Angus, I took a brief look at your code (btw: I couldn't find it in the new ICS Beta from yesterday). > Large files can only be used in the client with TFileStream, since > THandleStream and TMemoryStream don't support sizes larger than 2 gigs, THandleStream supports it, at least in Delphi 7, TFileStream is derived from THandleStream. > and even that would probably cripple windows.

I think it can be simplified, without an own Seek64-function just by a new custom integer type that would be of Type Int64 in D6 and above.
