bzip2 on AIX 5.3

Hi.
I have the bzip2 version 1.0.2 installed on AIX 5.3 (RPM package). The documentation (www.bzip.org) says that this version can compress files >2Gb, but is not working. On AIX, bzip2 is working well just for files less than 2Gb. I have the bzip2 (same version) installed on Linux box. The problem is happening only on AIX. Does some one have an ideia about solution for this problem ? Thanks.

Hi all, Say I've got a file /tmp/tempfile.txt which contains a list of files with full path. Now I would wish to take all filenames in that tempfile as arguments and zip them in a single archived file. So how could I archive this? Seems like I need to use the xargs command? Thanks

bzgrep

BZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							 BZGREP(1)

NAME

       bzgrep, bzfgrep, bzegrep - search possibly bzip2 compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       bzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
       bzegrep [ egrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
       bzfgrep [ fgrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Bzgrep  is  used to invoke the grep on bzip2-compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,
       then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and  fed	to
       grep.

       If  bzgrep  is  invoked as bzegrep or bzfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep.  If the GREP environment variable is set, bzgrep
       uses it as the grep program to be invoked. For example:

	   for sh:  GREP=fgrep	bzgrep string files
	   for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files)
