I love Delphi...I'll have to check synEdit out myself. Actually I'm quite sure editpad was written in delphi as well. Notepad on WinXp can load a file that large, but it's too slow. At least the notepad filesize limitation is gone under XP. But I've used Wordpad with no problems. BTW I used PFE under Win3.1. I had thought he'd stopped development..but there is a 32-bit version? It was great! Oh, and if you have it, Homesite does pretty well too! In fact I use Homesite for extended find/replace operations on poser files.
