I stand corrected. I made that assumption based on the partition limits on certain filesystems.
It is confusing because as Roman Dementiev pointed out, even though the Windows API has supported large files for a long time, some older versions of that operating system may not implement the functionality, particularly if they only supported file systems which were limited to smaller files. I'd hate to see otherwise useful Boost code held back because it didn't support large files on systems which don't normally support large amounts of data anyhow. --Beman
