Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply. How would I be able to capture all the info
from the console since there is more information displayed than fits on
the screen itself ?

I wonder if "file" isn't large-file-aware...
(checks)
Yep, on a 7.2 system, "file" opens with the flags O_RDONLY; with 7.3,
it uses O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE.
