Anyone who is interested in a LARGE FILE enabled version of my utilities please contact me at:
chrisg@warpspeed.com.au
A large file enabled version of my utilities would enable those of you who have Warp Server for e-Business (WSeB) and are using the JFS file system (and obviously have large files) to work with large files. Large files are files >2.1Gb in size. OS/2's FAT, HPFS and HPFS386 (as well as NT's NTFS) can only handle files <=2.1Gb. As WSeB stands today, if you open a file that is >2.1Gb with a program that is not large file enabled, the result is a kernel trap (aka - black screen of death).
I would like to test interest for such a version of my utilities. If sufficient demand exists, then I would consider producing a new version of my utilities. If such a version should ever see the light of day, if would be a CD-ROM Only version, with the manual only
available in on-line format (as is presently available).

README:
12/1/99
Unlike previous fixkits, this fixkit is really a 'hot fix' type fix. We did not create the binary patches, and have only included changed DLLs. To install, simply boot to a command prompt, save the previous DLLs to a save directory (FixKit20.2), and copy the contents of this zipfile to the Object Desktop 2.0 installation directory.
Changed files:

• OBJDCOMN.DLL


• OBJDCCEN.DLL


• OBJDEFLD.DLL
