Opening large files with C

[Vladimir Espinosa Angarica]

Hi Team:

    I'm developing applications to deal with biological databases in 
flat file format. This databases are usually formed by very huge files, 
normally of 5 GB or even more. Some of my programs crash when I try to 
open this large files. There are a way of dealing with this file size 
using the normal C stream handling functions?

I would appreciate any information. Thanks in advance

Vladimir
