Re: What is the largest file I can edit using vim?

I have an *.sql file.
Typically I chop it, but I am tired of chopping it.
I want to remove the first 10 lines and the last 10 lines of this 4GB file.
I have had no success with UltraEdit and VI, gedit, wordpad, VIM.
I may try google-docs.... 

Thanks for publishing vim!

Talk about what you want to do with such a big file an people will try
to find a solution. Editing 4GB files in a text editor is no joy
anyway.
