both, but I'd say it's recode in this case. The source file is ~1.6 GiB, the result will be over 2 GB. For files >=2GiB on 32bit architectures, programs nees to support largefiles, which recode probably does not. > 2. What can I do about this? for now you probably can instruct recode to send result to output and redirect it to output file. In such case, it's the shell who opens the output file and shells support largefiles now (afaik) Also, you can recompile recode with largefile support, or try iconv -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
