sure that doesn't help. qedit only an use the 640k you have as the transient
program area. it will not use other memory like ems, xms, dpmi, swap. if you
really can't split/join the file(s), you should take a look into tse, the
bigger brother of qedit. you can configure it the same as qedit and is much
faster & loads files up to 64 Mb if i recall right.

     Register The Semware Editor Pro v2.5 and ALL your big file problems
     will go away.  TSE is like a virtual editor that allows you to edit
     files up to the limit of your memory or hard drive size.
     With BlueWave running, and typing this message, I opened a 4.6 Meg
     Bible Text File with no problem, and several other 1/2 MEG files,
     cutting and pasting between them, on a 286 with 1 Meg Ram.  :)
     I don't think there is a limit of the number of files you can open...

assistant: ** Quoting Sid Lee to Henning Jenssen:
Actually, there are three ways. :)
Also, if one uses OS/2 there is the OS/2 version of QEdit (which looks
and functions virtually identically to the DOS version) which has no
memory constraints (since it is an OS/2 program, and since OS/2 is a
virtual memory system, it can handle files of any size, so long as there
is room for the swapfile to grow to the necessary size).
Unfortunately, the OS/2 version of QEdit is commercial - there is no
shareware version available.

assistant: Add one more to the mix:
 If you are using OS/2 and the DOS version of Qedit (which is what I am
 doing) then you can tinker with the settings of the program icon and
 get about 740K of memory for Qedit.   In an experiment, I was able to
 get about a 15% improvement in the file size by setting the video mode
 to CGA.  In an edit of a very big file (part of the nodelist) I could
 read about 6800 lines instead of only 5800 lines with the normal 640k
 setting.
 Was there ever an OS/2 shareware version?  I bought Qedit before I
 upgraded to OS/2 and never felt like paying the upgrade price for the
 OS/2 version (nor for version 4.0 either) and have stuck with version
 3.0 for DOS which does everything I want it to do (most of the time).

I'm using TSE for writing eMails. Does anyone have a macro for QEdit or TSE
which prompts for a filename, uuencodes the file with an external uucoder and

I think using PGP or some other encryption with the editor would be
technically nearly the same, so such an implementation would most probably be
helpful, too.

assistant: ** Quoting Dale Shipp to Joe Negron:
Well, the method you point out is only good for files roughly 64K larger
than would otherwise be the case, so we'll count it as "1/2" a method -
we're now up to 3 1/2. :)
Not to my knowledge.
Well, I got QEdit 4 under the Sysop discount - the OS/2 version comes
with the DOS version, all for about $55 (including S&H).  I had been
using the shareware version for quite some time unregistered (though I
will point out that I've gotten two different employers to register a
copy for me) and felt that it was about time that I registered it. :)
