In Borland C you can't have a structure bigger than 64K even using the large and huge memory models. The same applies to MSC. I don't know of an effective work around other than to read in 64K chunks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Malcolm Reeves, Geological Engineering, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, S7N 0W0 aka reeves@rocky1.usask.ca aka reeves@dvinci.usask.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
