Hi Julian,

Which means that you definitely haven't run into the >2GB file question 
on HPFS - [he doesn't have any JFS drives].
What happens when you attempt to create e.g. a zip file from say 3 or 4 
complete partitions in the one zipfile? That's when the problem would 
become evident - RAR on HPFS doesn't have that limitation as I 
personally know of one system of about 11GB that was being done more 
frequently than daily.
