Re: File output buffer overrun?

If you are really talking about a limitation of 4096 bytes on total file
size, then I've never seen anything even vaguely like this on any
system. That is implausible enough that I'd say the odds were very high
that you have misidentified what is going on, which would make it hard
for us to diagnose, since all we have is your description. If your
description isn't actually a good approximation of the facts, then we've
got nothing useful.
RT-11 uses a file system that only allows contiguous blocks for files.
The first file opened gets half the largest block, the next half the
next, which might be the second half from the first. After not so many
files open on a 1.2MB floppy you are probably down to 4096.
(It might be that you can specify how much you really need, though.)
