Grant:
thanx for the help of the code.....
I have a program of my own for this but the issue now seems to be that the maximum value of the 4 character hex # is:
FF FF FF FF => 4,294,967,295
when we get over this number we have to convert to extended keyed files but then the count doesn't work because the actual file size would need to be (maybe) 8 characters:
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF => 18,446,744,073,709,551,615
as it stands I think we get the truncated size... which for this file happens to come up as a negative number by my program... I'm pretty sure if I can get the other (most significant) hex digits I can get the right number.
Thanx again!

P.S. my program uses IHEXASC on the whole 4 byte number (after swapping the digits around (1234 => 4321) maybe your method might work differently.. dunno... will try to get back to you on this....
