SCO Xenix "ex" limitation revisited

[Richard Skrenta]

No, you're not crazy for wanting to edit a file that big.  I had the
Ed wiped out lots of my work before I figured out what was going on--no
message, no warning--it just chopped off everything at about about 100K.

To get around this, try using split [filename].  It will turn your file into
a lot of smaller files, called xaa, xab, xac, and so on.  You can edit these
smaller files and then chunk them back into one big one with

	cat x* > original.name

Hope this helps
