Hi Dale,

Both should not have problems with files up to at least 2 GB
as long as you have enough free disk space. Please use MEM
to provide information about how much memory you have free
and of which type.

Please be more specific about the example and check which
command.com (FreeCOM, contains the COPY command) and which
FreeDOS kernel version you are using.

Look at http://freedos.org/software/ which has a whole
section about editors included with FreeDOS: I think for
example SETEDIT can be used for really large files.
