drag/drop files > 4G

My existing drag / drop interface uses the various COM interfaces but they
use DWORD values for file positioning.  What interface should I be using to
support files > 4G and what platforms does that interface work on?

Thanks.

I am not sure I understand. Which part of drag/drop deals with file sizes =

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not =

land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. =

Agreed.

Agreed.  Also, when passing data around using IStream, its SetSize() and
Stat() methods also support 64-bit sizes as well.

I do not know - I was just going from memory from 9 years ago, now I look at
what was there about 4G is commented out and using 64bit values.  So perhaps
it was limited to some platform or using some other interface.  Sorry about
that.
