SCO Xenix "ex" limitations

[The Super User]

The SCO Xenix 2.2.1 /286 "ex" editor seems to have a low limit on the
maximum file size it can edit. I attempted to edit my pathsfile (about
700K) and it gave me the error "tmp file too large".

Is there some way around this? Disk space and memory are not problems.

Thanks
