--> * Winrar [3.20] can show the size of .bz2 files and
--> winrar just report bipin.zip is 128 Mb but it start
--> filling up the hdd. to 12 Gb if you try to extract the
--> file.
--> *If we try to extract the 12 Gb [Standalone] file in
--> Fat32 tries to extract the 12 Gb file and terminate
--> extraction after 4Gb [fat32 limit] I wounder, why in
--> the 1'st place would Winrar allow to extract a 4+ Gb
--> [single] file in Fat 32.
