BTW - if someone wants to try it you can use the following code to crate a
3GB textfile
oFs = createobject("scripting.FileSystemobject")
oTf = oFs.CreateTextFile('d:\temp\test.txt', .t.)
s3mb = replicate(chr(64), 3*1024*1024)
for ii=1 to 1024
oTf.write(s3mb)
?? ii
next
oTf.close()

That was mean of you to not include a set talk off at the
beginning! I had just started VFP, and <all too obvious>.
