Just what I expected, especially based on results of other programs that try
to show me how much space I have and have used. (The totals are laugh-able.)

ROTFL.......
SD> Seriously!
I under stand..... Ok.... I'll probably do that *or* move my upload area to
a "smaller" partition (where I have about 1.5 Gb free at the moment). My
attempt at not setting Max's disk space limit still resulted in uploads
failing due to "no disk space". Oh, well.... Your solution would also allow
me to move Binkley's inbound path to the same drive....
SD> You can create a huge file from the command prompt by doing this:
SD> copy A+A+A+A+A+A+A+A+A+A+A B
SD> copy B+B+B+B+B+B+B+B+B+B+B C
SD> copy C+C+C+C+C+C+C+C+C+C+C D
SD> ... and so on, where "a" is any file on your drive.
Ah, yes..... the good old file merge solution.
Thanks for the response!
I guess I can thank the API with the old DOS OS code for this situation.
Surely no one was ever going to need a disk
larger than 32Mb (especially since most were running off of floppy disk
drives)...... ;(
Take care.....rfj.....
