Description:
Ref bug reports # 1660, 1669 where I get a runtime error 87 using eof() and filesize() functions.
Making my program i C/Cpp instead of FPC I suddenly got an idea why these functions fail. After testing my thought I found that I was right.
The error can be reproduced on exceptionally large files like my Exchange Server Information Store that is like 43 Gigs. Testing my program on small files works just fine! I suppose I will have to find a library somewhere that can handle files this big...
