With MicroEMACS, a *very* good editor, the amount of RAM in your machine
determines the size of the file you can edit.  The whole file is loaded
into memory.  Best of all, it's public domain!

If you have the capability to download files from a bulletin board system,
you may be able get it at one in your area, otherwise, if you can't get it
from anyone else, send me a disk and a SASE to mail it back to you, and 
I'll make you a copy.
