RE: SAVF Size Limit

256 GB sounds right to me, P.S. I discovered something interesting playing around with this, I broke down the files into separate savf and downloaded them all separate, I didn't think the size was a problem, so on the non RISC AS400 I looked at the file, and I downloaded the files that wouldn't work with Express file transfer and then use the wizard to put them on the RISC AS400, the only difference in the savf that worked and the ones that didn't were that there were spaces in the fields of the ones that didn't work, Express even put underscore's in place of the spaces, I guess you havta use standard naming conventions.

Well my apologies.  I thought I answered the original question.  As (I
don't think that) it was provided, what was the original question?
