Has anyone opend really large files with Scite- like over 500MB?
I wouldn't try it, because Scintilla would consume at least 1GB
internally. Perhaps you have enough memory, real or virtual, but that
would be slow.
I even created a safeguard (max.file.size) to avoid to inadvertantly
load such file, as it can be very slow just to load it, if it is on CD-Rom.
It is unfortunate that so many editors crash because they try to load an
entire file in memory, instead of just loading
a piece of it.
That's more the job of an hex editor like Catch22's one.

Perhaps some log files can get this big, but most of the time these are
binary files (videos, disk ISO images...).
I can't get this large file onto my computer at the moment because of
network problems, but will try it
(crossing fingers)
Good luck.
