Whoops, you may want to look again. I constantly use QEdit v2.1 (February
1990) and it will not edit files larger than your available dos memory. It
loads as much as possible and then asks you to press <esc> to continue.

I have to use an ascii splitter (splitf.exe for example) if I want to look
at very large files.
