I am trying to get gcc-1.37 going under Esix 5.3.2 C the file was split when i got it from ohio-state somewhere, and i am trying to 'cat' all the pieces back together. it works for awhile, then craps out. saying 'file too large' '-1/1024 something or another.' or some such error message. i know i have the disk space, i just added 100+ megs, and this operation is taking place under my new file system am i out of ram? i have 4 meg,.. but the file doesn't crap out till way past 4 meg, .. :-P anyway, i am clueless. this also happens when trying to recombine some X stuff that i got.. tim btw: i am relatively ignorant, i've had esix only a few weeks.

Read your manual, or the FAQ posting for this newsgroup to see how to change it. Secondly, a better way to process the multiple archives would be to do the following: cat files | uncompress | tar -xvf - (assuming that they were parts of a compressed tar file) This way you don't have to generate the big file. -- Conor P.
