Not true. FAT32 supports files up to 4 GB.
Sorry I shot my mouth off there - I realised my blunder about ten
minutes after sending. I haven't actually used a FAT32 partition
for over ten years, and was confusing the maximum size of a FAT32
partition with its maximum file size.
On NTFS of course, as you mentioned, the sky is the limit. I
have made files larger than 4GB, and have written a couple of
simple programs to work with such files, so my basic point is
valid. The Win32 API supports files much larger than 4GB.
