Ulimit on 5.7 SCO ???? Need a quick answer...

I can not set the ulimit on a sco 5.7 system higher than the 2Gb limit....
Which I thought was the maximum on 5.6.  Didn't they break this limit with
the 5.7 release?  If not that sucks... Are we saying that for once filePro
is ahead of SCO ??   Seriously, did it not change until 6.0 SCO.  I need to
make it a scosh bigger.... (okay, okay, bad pun), but I will have to jump
through hoops if it is really still 2Gb.  Plus, the man page mentions
something about ulimit being unlimited but, of course, there is no example
of how to do this if it's possible.  Only an example of how to se to 50
blocks. "ulimit -f 50".

Any quick iedeas or info appreciated.  In a few minutes I'm going to just
break the task into less than 2Gb chuncks... But I hate doing this for other
reasons.

Thanks In Advance

John

P.S - Oh yeah, the error if I try to set higher than 2Gb is something like
"ulimit size exceeds maximum"...
