Text editor to open 5GB file?

need to open an Entourage database file that got way too big for a Mac to handle. What's a simple text editor for Windows that can handle such a large file without crashing?
 
It's an email database file from a Mac version of Outlook. It's still a heck of an email DB file but anyway I just tried Word, Notepad, Wordpad etc. They won't even begin to open it. So I renamed the DB file with a .txt at the end and dumped it on Firefox. It's opening it like a champ and I actually see legible text strings but I'm watching my memory usage go up in task manager as it loads and it may actually hit and go beyond the physical 1.5GB ram I have in this box. I have no idea what's going to happen when it goes beyond that.

Yeah... I thought this was a parody thread when I clicked on it... Although I don't know what there would be to parody.
 
damn!

Large Text File Reader! Who would've thunk it! I just opened the file in less than a second although it's kinda made so it keeps loading while keeping it's responsiveness. AWESOME. Thanks.

I hope I can find the mail text in here somewhere.

Nothing, as long as it doesn't fvck with my privacy or my property without my knowledge. If it does, then it's not a real company, it's a illegal scamming operation that needs to be shut down and legally penalized.

...then what's the point of the software? You're missing the point I think.

Funny. I write software, none of which do any of what I mentioned.
I think you may have missed the point of privacy.

Edit:

I don't really want to get into an OT argument in SAPG. To each his own.
 
Holy crap, let it drop. It's no one's business who deathkoba works for (at least not in this forum). He didn't post saying "Help me infect your computers" so it doesn't need to be discussed.

Hey, you guys know Cable God trolls forums for a hobby right?
