Since 4DOS is a 16-bit .EXE (8086 compatible, even, if you're using Lucho's final 8.00 build), I'm not surprised. 14 GB is a *lot* of space, so there are probably lots of subdirs. All it basically means is that nobody ever bothered to test a (FAT32) drive that big or else (assuming it would even help) it needs the stack increased (probably meaning recompile, and good luck, I think MS VC 1.52 is the only compiler that works, ugh). I'm sure there are probably algorithms that can handle such, but I don't know what they are! You could always use a DJGPP tool to do it instead. "chmod.exe .../*" would probably work somehow (blindly guessing), and I know you can use stubedit to change the stack size if necessary. I would even suggest normal FD attrib or Charles Dye's attrib, but I don't know (and mostly doubt) if either of those would work better (both 16-bit). http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/attrib/ http://reimagery.com/fsfd/bin/dye/freeware.htm http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/dl/ofc/current/v2gnu/fil41b.zip/ Success or failure reports welcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
