A user mentioned that the man page for rx suggests changing the
"ulimit UNIX parameter" when transferring very large files. He asked,
to clear up confusion, that the "unlimit" command be explicitly
mentioned in the page, as opposed to (or in addition to) the "ulimit"
parameter. Is this possible?
The "ulimit UNIX parameter" has nothing to do with the csh "unlimit"
command.
"ulimit" is a parameter on System V system which refers to the maximum
file size of a process. It doesn't apply on Project Athena machines
in the field, since they are BSD, not System V, and BSD doesn't have
ulimit.
