[h-e-w] heading a large file

[Eric S. Johansson]

I need to edit large files occasionally (approximately 1.1 GB) and I 
would appreciate a pointer to any Emacs packages that might help. 
Splitting files to components of less than 7 MB each creates just too 
many pieces.  I would prefer to keep things in one contiguous chunk if 
possible.

what I'm doing is repairing (&^*&%*$) mbx mailboxes.  I'm converting the 
mail server to maildir as soon as humanly possible but it will be at 
least another month or two before I can and I need to edit large files 
now. (apologies for the grumpies)

thanks in advance.
