I have a consulting client who has a 54 mb DIF file that was lunched in
three or four places.  Thanks to the Norton Utilities, I fixed a couple
places, but I can only substitute instead of actually delete the bad
records.  What I need is a good editor that can handle a file this large
without taking 3 hours to load, so that I can get the file in a decent
shape  to load into Paradox.  Another programmer sat on this project for
weeks, so of course the project is overdue :-}.  Any help will be greatly
appreciated. 

Thanks,

Sue Forslev

     Whenever I have a large file, I use WordPerfect. Load it as a 
     text file. WP swaps to/from disk and can handle pretty big files
     if I remember correctly. It's worth a shot, anyway...
