May not work but Xtree Gold ver 3 for DOS has a text viewer (not the editor) if
you can get it to view the file it has a gather command which you can use to
split files apart (or append them together). I use it often to extract sections
from columnar ASCII data files but the biggest of those has been around 15MB
with more common ones around 8MB.

Best of luck
