have you tried textpad? Can open text files that are several gigs within secs, + auto-refresh. Useful for huge log files :) - Shivanand Velmurugan

If you have enough memory, Vim can do it. - Morton Fox

@Shivanand: Never did. Might try. - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)

Haven't most versions of vi had a paging mode for large files? - Phil Glockner

i <3 vim. :) - felix

yeah, couldn't you open a gig file on a 386/33 with 4 MB of RAM with vi? - Victor Ganata
