Hi Nicolas, Thank you for checking. The reason why I ask is because such limit is important for bioinformatics. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) machines are generating bigger files (these are typically FASTQ files) everyday, have a look at this cdbfasta forum http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15331 for an example of what's happening. Maybe the CDB designers didn't anticipated genomes would be available today. However, it's a nice project and is an important library.

Hi,
Thanks for the question, Tbh we didnt even think about bypassing it. Still we gave it a though because of your mail and we feel like doing so would create some problems. Mainly because its already coded like that in other languages, and a >4GB files wouldn't be able to be used with other languages so it would be restricted to pharo.

Hello Nicolas,
Do you plan to bypass the 4GB index file limit? Cheers,
Hernán

Hello,
we're a group of 4 students learning pharo since a few weeks. We picked up the CDB project (http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html), to hopefully get it done by march. If you have any specific request about the project let us now.
