1) the 15 gig file is not handled, not seen, by dir
2) the 15 gig file is never in a folder i run dir on
3) the 15 gig file may be on another drive
4) i have had dir troubles before on win95 and winxp-sp2
5) the 15 gig file is not an issue
6) i am getting real sorry i mentioned the topic
7) this is about dir, which doesn't open the files
8) if dir cracked up on a particular file, i'd have said so

I have it, it seems to be a program to munge normal dir output. Munging such
data cannot be the problem if dir never returns. I asked if i can trap the
non-returning dir, called in file.e, in the machine call, and been told no, so i
don't see why another lib of eu code could.
