file size limit in emacs20 on hamm
I just tried to edit a 25Mb text file in Emacs20 on a hamm system
with 128Mb of RAM. I discovered that the end of the file is shown
on the screen (no X, raw ssh/telnet screen) as a structured lot of
question marks:
???????????
???????????????????????????????????????
??
and that an incremental search doesn't find something that grep
shows is there.
Anyone tell me about handling large files in Emacs20?
TIA,
Chris
