Re: Can Jed open file larger than the memory?

["Tom Culliton" <culliton@xxxxxx>]

Larger than virtual memory, no.

On the flip side, the per line overhead is actually pretty reasonable
compared to many editors, and as a result it can handle many files that
they won't and do so a very reasonable speed.  At my old job I would
regularly get asked for help by the DBAs when they'd get a data file which
had some type of simple problem and they couldn't edit it themselves,
either because their editors ran out of memory or slowed to a hopeless
crawl.  More than half the time jed would do the job in a few minutes
without any special efforts.
