I use PE, the WordPerfect Program Editor, which is like a scaled-down
version of WordPerfect, but which handles ASCII files directly.  Like WP, it
uses swap-to-disk for handling files exceeding memory size.  A file that
size may load quite slowly, but it will edit and save without problems.  I
think it's still part of the WordPerfect Library.
