read() cant read files larger than 2.1 gig on a 64 bit system

[Thorfinn Sand]

Thanks for your reply very helpful
I'll go the fread way then.


I don't see anywhere in the documentation, that 'read' is limited to
int or ISTR, i think this might need clarification in the
documentation

Thanks again
this has been bugging me for several days
