Faves for this Web page
DH sent me this page for editing
While Emacs is my primary editor, I use this editor to search and manipulate very large files. The only downside is that the text mode is much slower than the hex mode. What I typically do for a large text file is open it in hex mode, locate the relevant section (you can search for text even in this mode), and copy/paste it into a smaller text mode buffer.
Quoted: EditPad Lite: A fine text editor with all the necessary basic features. Free for non-commercial use. An ideal replacement for Notepad.

Yeah, Emacs is definitely the wrong answer for very large files. But this editor isn't free when used commercially, big downside.
do you have other suggestions?
`grep -C' usually gets me what I need :)
