MIght I suggest the Norton Editor?  I know it will work on 2M files
as I've used it on 4m files.  You will need enough space on disk 
for another copy of the file, but that shouldn't be too much of a
problem.

It's available from :
	Peter Norton Computing, Inc.
	2210 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 186
	Santa Monica, CA 90403
	(213) 453-2361

It's also available through most mail order houses. The price
is usually in the $30 to $60 range.

BGD.
