Well, not sure what exactly you mean by ignore eol character, but the SEE editor that is part of the DeSmet C can handle very large files in plain DOS (mainly limited by the drive space, as it handles moving through the file by using spill files).

What editor were you using before? What did it do that you liked? What did it lack that you needed? How long is very long?, and what do you mean by ignore eol character? Presumably he means edit files greater than 64 kb. Also, he presumably wants to be able to edit *nix-only LF files as well as the normal CR+LF. A commercial editor called Vedit claims to be able to edit enormous files, and still offers an older version that runs on DOS. Keep in mind that older usually means less features, so any blurbs or advertisements aren't going to be 100% reflected in that version. VEDIT quickly edits, translates and sorts any text, data, binary (hex) or EBCDIC file; even 100+ Gigabytes! This may not be accurate or well-supported for the DOS version. It might not be supported at all! While I respect your right to mention any tools that fits the bill, I'm skeptical that this will truly solve anything. (I'm also, but only vaguely, surprised you didn't link him to the texteditors.org wiki.) So what would I recommend? Barring any facts or reasons to think otherwise, I'd suggest something 32-bit compiled by DJGPP (386+, DPMI). The ones that stick out (besides obligatory popular favorites like VIM or GNU Emacs) are TDE, VILE, JED, Mined, FTE. FreeDOS' Software List does have an EDIT category, but it's far from exhaustive: http://www.freedos.org/software/?cat=edit Blocek, Fed, Freemacs, Mined, Ospedit, Setedit, TDE, VIM -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
