Or consider the Rand Editor (now the Grand Editor, from Grand Software
Inc.).  Whether the newest versions are like the ancient but venerable
hacked V6 version we had installed under 4.1BSD I cannot say, but that
version would edit arbitrarily large files, even on a PDP-11 with 64K
text+data+stack (non split I&D).
