Besides what everyone else says, I think that if we ever have to worry about files between 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 and 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 bytes in size, the correct answer is to change FileInfo so that the Size method returns int128. After all, if files can get that large, they can surely get to 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
