Hi ALL,
I received alot of replies and really appreciated for
that.
Most of the people stated that file system must be
mounted with "largefiles" option that I already
did. By default, Solaris 8 is "largefiles" enabled
on file system.
The rest pointed to me that I should get a new version
of the gunzip that can be downloaded from freewares
and
it should work. I'll try that later but I found a
workaround as follows:
# gzcat Mas.gz > Mas
Hope the information help.
Regards,
Tim
