Default Friggin' huge text file!!!

I need a windows application to view a 1 GB log file (text file). Word tops out at 512 MB, notepad, notepad++, gvim, and wordpad can't open it. I don't happen to have a linux box handy to load the file on so I can run "tail".

I'm at a loss. Any ideas? :s

I've opened a 5 gig log (.txt) file with TEXTPAD before, it took a while but it got there in the end!

Baretail FTW! This is a nice little log viewer, much nicer than using notepad.

You need enough RAM + swap to be able to load the file. Buy more RAM :P

Work computer sucks, unfortunately. I have another system with 4GB next to me but I am using it for software testing and it would've been a pain to transfer the file to that system as it is not allowed on the network in its current state. Oh well.

Uninstalling Microsoft Bob might speed up your work PC

Go ask your boss nicely for some extra RAM...

Kiwi Log Viewer is another option.
