To my surprise, the implementation of the STL shipped with VC9 does not support files larger than 4GB. I was pretty surprised and couldn't find anything on the web to the contrary. So I was wondering if boost has any hidden libraries that might assist in solving my problem.

Yes, it is surprising :-) You can use boost::iostreams::file_descriptor to read large files. If you need to keep track of positions in the file, you will want to use boost::iostreams::stream_offset. Hope This Helps, Justin
