Is there an utility to keep files bigger than 4 GB on a FAT32 file system
(any kind of device: HDD internal or external, etc.)?
Thanks.

I was going to simply say "no," but that's not quite true.
It's actually Windoze Version dependent, and application dependent.
Only NT-type OS's support > 4Gb files. That is NT4, (maybe 3.51) W2K,
XP-Pro, I don't know about XP-Home .
Also, you can't just write a "Large File" using most tools, the tool has
to be using all of the 64-bits available to do it. Most programmers are
lazy, and won't have used the extra parameter to "SetFilePointer()," so
the file can't be larger than 4Gb.
