[Simh] RE: simh 3.2-0 large file support on linux - patchset

[Peter R. Trimmel]

if memory serves me right VMS 6.x had this 'feature'; VMS 7.x should be ok,
though. I've tested the simulator with VMS 7.3 and a disksize of ~96GB
showed no problems at all.

Hi,

i've tested Peter Trimmels changes which work fine on Redhat Enterprise
Server 3.0. Merely disksizes greater then 28GB causes ACP to crash the
system. However, 28GB/disk are sufficient....

Thanks to Peter,

regards

Michael Schaffer
