Wow, thanks for the quick response and your program.

However, I still have some problem. First it seems to take a lot of memory (Input files are about 4 Gb each), but I got it running assigning enough memory to the Job.
However, it then crashed by saying, "Wrong placed ()."

May that be caused by me submitting this task to a SGE cluster?

Thanks again!,
Sebastian

BPRECVFILE(1)							  BP executables						     BPRECVFILE(1)

NAME
bprecvfile - Bundle Protocol (BP) file reception utility SYNOPSIS
bprecvfile own_endpoint_ID DESCRIPTION
bprecvfile is intended to serve as the counterpart to bpsendfile. It uses bp_receive() to receive bundles containing file content. The content of each bundle is simply written to a file named "testfileN" where N is the total number of bundles received since the program began running. Use ^C to terminate the program. EXIT STATUS
0 bprecvfile has terminated. FILES
No configuration files are needed. ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply. DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file: Can't attach to BP. bpadmin has not yet initialized BP operations. Can't open own endpoint. Another BP application task currently has own_endpoint_ID open for bundle origination and reception. Try again after that task has terminated. If no such task exists, it may have crashed while still holding the endpoint open; the easiest workaround is to select a different source endpoint. bprecvfile bundle reception failed. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. bprecvfile: can't open test file File system error. bprecvfile terminates. bprecvfile: can't receive bundle content. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. bprecvfile: can't write to test file File system error. bprecvfile terminates. bprecvfile cannot continue. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. bprecvfile: can't handle bundle delivery. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. BUGS
