Attempting to read large file error

I am having a problem accessing data stored in a large binary file. I am reading REAL*4 values from a file that is approximately 3.2 GB. the program runs fine until I attempt to read a value from record 536,870,913. Is this due to a limitation of INTEGER*4 ?
(ie 2**32-1 = 2,147,483,648 , /4 = 536,870,912 )
Is there any way to get around this problem?

You're using a very old version (5.0). I think we added the ability to read more than 2GB files in version 6.0A. For information on upgrading, please see our web site.
