Hi,
I am trying to open a 250MB text file using Emacs but I get the following error message:
Maximum buffer size exceeded.
Is there a way of increasing the buffer size? How else can I open this file?
Thanks,
Michael Kariru

Currently, the only way to overcome the 128 Meg limit is to build Emacs
as a 64-bit application on a 64-bit system.
