There is a restriction in the Econet protocols tho, in that all sizes
are 24 bit. Eg. the put bytes call only has 3 bytes for the file offset. There
was a later version of NetFS for RISC OS that supported longer
files by using 32 bit file addresses, I think with Advanced L4.

I've just looked in the PRM (2-964) which states that "File servers only
support files up to 16 Megabytes, so all pointer operations and file
length indications use 24it quantities... Econet protocols do not
support larger files."

How did you create your test file?
