Bryan:
As others have pointed out, FoxPro cannot deal with a file more than 2 GB
long. This includes low level IO. It will not work.
I suggest two alternatives:
a) Outside VFP (i.e., Windows), use some other program to break the file
into segments <= 2GB, then process those in VFP. (I never do this, so have
no specific ideas. <g>)
b) There are probably Windows API calls that will deal with a large
file. Call those from VFP to break the file into 2GB segments, then use
low-level I/O to process them.
