Does anyone know of a good text editor that can handle VERY large files (on
the order of 1 to 5Meg (don't ask why :-))?  I know of the serveral ftp sites,
but I can't tell from the descriptions given in the index files at simtel20
if any there can do spill files and I didn't want to have to ftp ALL of them	just to try them out.  Right now I'm stuck using EDLIN which is rather slow.
I've tried PCTOOLS editor in PCSHELL, but that's not much better.	

Thanks.

Mike
