I'm looking for a editor that can work with HUGE (2 meg) files.  
Does anyone know of any editors that can handle this?  I thought
QEdit could, but it's limited to 640K and so cuts the file off
when it runs out of memory.  I really don't care if the editor
loads the whole thing into RAM or reads it off the disk as it
is needed.  (I'd prefer the latter, I have enough memory but
I'd like a "disk based" editor)  Thanks for any help anyone can
offer me.
