Read File at > 2GB Problem

[Dave]

Hi,

That's what I'm doing, but it's *way* too slow and crashes if you  
read too much data. I've got a 60+ GB file and need to read at  
"random" positions in the file. Moving from somewhere near the start  
to somewhere near the end takes minutes! The ironic thing is that the  
data I want to read when I get there is quite small!

All the Best
Dave
