Perhaps if you tell me this a few more times, I might
remember it. (But, if experience is any guide, probably not.)
I did try an FTP GET of a 5GB file on my most current VMS
VAX system, and as you had suggested, the file transfer was
successful, but the progress reporting was pretty miserable.
For example:
File Size: 905019392
Percent Done: 1 -

You working on that 64-bit math package for 32-bit systems?

I'll try to re-investigate and see what I can do. Ideally
before summer, when running the old VAX becomes (more)
unpleasant.
