I just uploaded a test version of C-Kermit that incorporates the
Single Unix Specification V2 Large File Support (LFS) API, which is used
to access, manage, and transfer files bigger than 2MB (i.e. those whose
lengths take between 32 to 63 bits to represent). I've tested it in Linux,
Solaris, and Mac OS X. This version also uses the 64-bit signed integer
data type for arithmetic in algebraic expressions and S-Expressions.
It should be "trivial" to enable LFS support for any other platform that
supports, such as AIX (which I no longer have access to). For the code
and instructions, see:
