**Hex Editor**

[Zarathustra]

Does anyone know of a freeware Hex editor which will be able to open a 3Gb file?!?

All my usual editors can't handle this size file.

How big is your RAM?

I'd expect it's more or less the same physical dimensions as most RAM chips. I have no idea what capacity he has though.

Sorry - couldn't resist.

No idea about HEX, but for normal text files I recommend LargeTextFileViewer (http://www.swiftgear.com/ltfviewer/features.html). I've opened 300GB xml files without a problem. It doesn't load the whole thing into memory, but rather jumps across the stream as you scroll, which is the only way to handle that kind of data.

What OS? For Windoze:

Should handle 4Gb+

Lounger: 2Gb
Merlin: LOL'ed
Biometrics: Unfortunately not freeware
Shogun: I use NoteTab Light for text files - Brilliant piece of free software (http://www.notetab.com/)
oldhat: Awesome - you win!?! Works 100%!?!
