Hi All,
I am trying to work on text files in excess of 180 Mb. When I try to
open the file I get the above response (in quotes).
Is there a way to set the maximum buffer size so that I can open these
bigger files?
I think not yet. The problem is that the file is accessed in Lisp. The
Lisp pointers are too short, less than 32 bits, 28 bits, which
corresponds to 256 MB. Could be it's better in GNU Emacs 22 (from CVS)
or in Unicode Emacs 23.
