Re: [Summary-Talk] Zipped log files and 2 gig limit

[Jason Linhart <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, your numbers are inaccurate. When you see "2GigLimit" or
"4GigLimit" Summary didn't read all of your log files.

Summary won't read past 2 Gig (or 4 Gig depending on the platform) of
uncompressed size of a single file, even if it is an archive of several
files. This restriction has been removed in Summary 2.6, currently in
beta testing <http://summary.net/beta.html>.

I recommend that you compress each log file separately. Then everything
should be fine.

Good Luck
Jason

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
