The peecee *is* the problem, just like the sun supersparc (32 bit architecture) and the older MIPS, and so forth were also the problem... because they only support a 32 bit integer natively. So, as I said, a 32 bit architecture has problems with large files unless you want to use non-portable methods or even assembly language. Any 32 bit architecture has this problem with ansi I/O... and since the PC fits that description, it is one of several that do suffer.
