I am really interested in more specific details.  Original poster refered to
solaris server 6.1.3 with linux.

what version of linux?
what version of linux client?
what version of solaris?

I am told that 6.1.3 linux client on redhat advanced server does support
files greater than 2 gb.

Is that file > 2 gigs? Solaris gzip (and many other programs) will
give you such an error in that case.

In the case of gzip, you can work around it by using `cat', which can
handle large files, and getting gzip to use stdin. Something like:

        cat ttt.gz | gzip -dc > ttt

If `save' is screwing up because it can't handle large files, well,
don't do that then, although it's a rather depressing thought.
