Hi, I am trying to decompress a file under interactive unix ver 2.2.1, and get the following message. #compress -d r4lib.tar.tar.Z r4lib.tar:File too large and the file size are 1230573 bytes. I still have enough space in my harddisk. Any one have this kind of problem. Thanks in advance

Or you could do the following: uncompress < r4lib.tar.tar.Z | tar -xovf - -- Conor P.

I still have enough space in >my harddisk. Any one have this kind of problem. Your ulimit is set too low to allow the *decompressed* file to be written. Increase your ulimit and all will be well.
