The HP 10 client is only supported on the 10.01 operating system at
this time.  That operating system does not support files greater than
2 Gb, so our client also does not support files greater than 2 Gb.
We hope to support the HP 10.10 and 10.20 operating systems in the future,
and at that time, that client would support greater than 2 Gb files.

As far as the SGI client goes, our one SGI client runs on both the 5.2 and
5.3 operating systems. Only 5.3 supports greater than 2 Gb files; 5.2 does not.
To be able to compile our client for both, we could not add 2 Gb support to
the SGI client at this time.   We hope to support the 5.3 operating system
with its own separate SGI client in the future, and that client would
support files > 2 Gb.  The SGI client is one of the reasons we announced
that we support > 2 Gb files on MOST platforms that support them, not ALL.
