We�ve also had problems with 3.5-4GB tar files on Windows 32-bit systems so that's definately something we need to simulate before going for it. One of the main problems is that it takes so much time for the Windows system to process the ZIP/TAR file that you don't know whether that's the standard time to deal with files of that size or if the application is actually hanging or unstable (in terms of abnormal cpu usage).

And then our customer is trying to push us for WinZip despite the technical limitations because of their mindset towards open source and freeware software. So I�m kind of caught between the technical constraints and applications doing the job only partially (screaming for bad designs or workarounds).

Anyway, I�ll give this a go. Thanks.
