Good point. All you need the OS calls. IE yes you can do > 2GB file 
calls on the mac, but that only works for HFS+ volumes not HFS. Thus 
I'd guess there has to be a syscall somewhere that tells me how big a 
file can get for a particular volume.

Now if some nice Unix guru can let me know, that will save me some steps.
