Some time ago someone posted a patch to emacs that increased the
number of address bits (> 24) so you could read in larger files.  We
have users that have files > 6MB that would like to edit them in
emacs.  Does anyone have those patches laying around?  Any experience
with performance problems?  We have sun3, sun4, dec3100, dec5100,
iris, and soon a couple of hp7XXs.

Thanks,
 Dave
