file size limit question

[Brian D. McGrew]

Or you can take the stdout from zip and go into split(1) ... Or the way
(convoluted) that I do things; tar | gzip | split | dd

:-)

Check the changelog on your zip program to see if it's been changed 
to support more than 2G.  For example, on Fedora Core 3:
 
$ rpm -q --changelog zip
  
===========

* Mon Jun 21 2004 Lon Hohberger <lhh at redhat.com> 2.3-24

- Extend max file/archive size to 2^32-8193 (4294959103) bytes
- Include better debugging output for configure script

===========

If it's already been changed, perhaps there's some other problem or 
still a bug in the utility.
