I''m surfing around the codebase, and can''t find the proper place where the ''recordsize'' attribute is recorded. This is as anciliary to wondering what the limitation on a maximum of 128k - if it would be possible to up the size significantly (say, by several orders of magnitude) and what the impact would be. -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA
