Certifications: BS in IT, A+, Net+, MCDST, MCITP, MCTS,MCSA, BMC Certified Admin | 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 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.
